PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone)

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a versatile synthetic polymer commonly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications. It dissolves easily in water and forms a sticky, gel-like substance. In medications, PVP acts as a binder to help drugs stay together; in cosmetics, it provides film-forming and adhesive properties. It is also used as a stabilizer, thickener, or carrier for other ingredients. PVP is considered safe for use in various products, including skin and eye treatments. Its stability and water solubility make it valuable across many industries for enhancing product consistency and performance.
