Is Polyacrylate-22 natural?

Built in stages from isophorone diisocyanate, an adipic acid/neopentyl glycol polyester, hydroxyethyl methacrylate and acrylic/methacrylic acid/methyl methacrylate monomers, all petrochemical, then partially neutralized with aminomethylpropanol. No natural-origin alternative exists for this engineered polymer.

A complex synthetic polymer built up in several chemical steps from petrochemical building blocks including a diisocyanate, acrylates and methacrylates. Used in hair styling and nail products to form a flexible, long-lasting film.

CosIng definition: Polyacrylate-22 is a complex polymer that is prepared by first reacting isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI with a copolymer made from Adipic Acid and Neopentyl Glycol. The isocyanate groups on the resulting polymer are then reacted with hydroxyethyl methacrylate followed by quenching with ethanol to eliminate residual urethane groups. Finally, the polymer above is copolymerized with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and methyl methacrylate, then partially neutralized with aminomethyl propanol (AMP)
