9.12 COSMETICS

Several commercial adhesion promoters have been developed for application in cosmetics
(e.g. lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, foundation, concealer, depilatory wax, eye make-up, face
make-up, nail lacquer, etc.), including Bomar BR, Eastman ester gum & SAIB (5 grades),
Foral CG, Pexalyn, and Regalite R. Their main active components are acrylate, sucrose
acetate isobutyrate, and rosin and its derivatives.
Nail coatings contain adhesive promoters such as hydroxypropyl, hydroxyethyl, and
tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylates, pyromellitic dimethacrylates or many other methacry-

lates.
