BIS-HEA POLYCAPROLACTONE DIOL/IPDI COPOLYMER

Description

BIS-HEA Polycaprolactone Diol/IPDI Copolymer is an advanced synthetic polymer used in skincare and cosmetic formulations. This ingredient is a result of the copolymerization of bis-hydroxyethyl acrylate (BIS-HEA), polycaprolactone diol, and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). The unique structure of this copolymer offers multifunctional benefits in various skincare applications.

The copolymer acts as a film-forming agent, creating a smooth, flexible barrier on the skin's surface. This property helps to lock in moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors. Additionally, it enhances the texture and feel of products, providing a silky, non-greasy finish. The polymer's ability to disperse evenly contributes to improved product stability and shelf life.

BIS-HEA Polycaprolactone Diol/IPDI Copolymer is particularly effective in long-wear makeup formulations, sunscreens, and anti-aging products. It aids in the even distribution of active ingredients and pigments, ensuring consistent performance. The copolymer's compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients makes it versatile for use in various product types, including creams, lotions, and gels. Its low irritation potential makes it suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
