PMMA in Cosmetics and Personal Care
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a synthetic linear methyl methacrylate polymer with excellent biocompatibility, light transmittance, and inertness. Its spherical particles scatter light and create a blurring effect in products. In the field of medical aesthetics, PMMA microspheres are used for facial contouring and soft tissue filling, such as nasolabial fold correction and acne scar repair. After injection, they form a scaffold under the skin that stimulates collagen production, delivering long-lasting effects. In cosmetics and personal care products, PMMA is used as a fine powder or bead with an average diameter of 6 microns in products such as pressed powders, eyeshadows, blushes, BB creams, and sunscreens. It can also act as a filler to increase product viscosity, texture, and gloss, with UV protection, moisturizing, and antioxidant functions. In addition, PMMA has good breathability and can form a film to lock in moisture, leaving skin or hair soft and glossy.

FAQs
Is polymethyl methacrylate safe in cosmetics?
Yes, the use of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in cosmetics is recognized as safe by multiple international regulatory agencies. It is widely used as a film-forming agent, texture enhancer, and delivery system in cosmetic formulations at concentrations typically ranging from 0.01% to 45%. When used within regulated limits, PMMA is non-irritating to the skin and demonstrates good biocompatibility and stability.
What are the ingredients in PMMA?
The primary ingredient in PMMA is methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer, which polymerizes into a linear polymer. In cosmetic formulations, PMMA typically appears as powders or microspheres and may be combined with other film-forming agents, carrier materials, or active substances (such as vitamin E or hyaluronic acid) to achieve specific functions.
How is PMMA produced?
PMMA is mainly produced via free radical polymerization, using methods such as solution polymerization, suspension polymerization, or emulsion polymerization. In industrial production, suspension polymerization is commonly used, where methyl methacrylate monomers form droplets in an aqueous phase through dispersants and are then polymerized using initiators to form PMMA microspheres with specific particle sizes and properties.
