Polyurethane-62

Polyurethane-62 is a synthetic polymer used primarily as a binding and viscosity-controlling agent in skincare formulations. It belongs to a class of film-forming compounds designed to improve the texture, stability and application feel of products rather than to deliver direct active benefits to the skin.In practice, this ingredient helps create a uniform, stable product consistency and can contribute to a smooth application or comfortable wear on the skin surface. It is not an active ingredient targeting specific skin concerns, but rather a functional component that supports product perfo…

Polyurethane-62 functions as a binder and rheological modifier—it creates a flexible film across the product and helps control how the formula flows and feels on application. This improves the sensory experience and helps keep the formula stable by preventing separation or changes in consistency over time.Rather than penetrating the skin or triggering biochemical changes, it works within the formulation itself to ensure the active ingredients and other components remain evenly distributed and effective.

There are no specific usage guidelines required for products containing Polyurethane-62, as it is a formulation ingredient rather than an active treatment. Use the product according to the manufacturer's instructions. The presence of this ingredient does not change how frequently or when you should apply the formula.

Polyurethane-62 is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for cosmetic use. It is not known to be a common skin irritant or sensitiser, though individual sensitivities to any ingredient are possible.
