Summary

Nylon-12 is a spherical, bulking polymer powder in the Opuliss Beauty Dual Blend Powder Foundation. It appears in 30 products in our range.

About

On an ingredient list it is written as Nylon-12. It is synthetic (polymer).

In the Formula

It is a texture material. It governs how a powder presses, how it feels under a brush, and how light scatters across the surface once applied.

The Evidence

Its safety for cosmetic use has been assessed by the expert panel review Safety assessment of nylon as used in cosmetics (Burnett C, 2014, Int J Toxicol, PMID 25568165). We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

Nylon-12 does its job inside the formula. It is not an active, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
