BIS-METHYLISOCYTOSINE HYDROGENATED POLYBUTADIENE/IPDI COPOLYMER

Description

BIS-METHYLISOCYTOSINE HYDROGENATED POLYBUTADIENE/IPDI COPOLYMER is an innovative synthetic polymer designed for advanced skincare formulations. This complex ingredient combines the properties of bis-methylisocytosine, hydrogenated polybutadiene, and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) to create a multifunctional compound with unique benefits for skin applications.

The copolymer acts as a film-forming agent, providing a protective barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier helps to lock in moisture, enhance product longevity, and improve the overall efficacy of skincare formulations. The hydrogenated polybutadiene component contributes to the ingredient's flexibility and adherence to the skin, while the IPDI portion adds durability and resistance to environmental factors.

BIS-METHYLISOCYTOSINE HYDROGENATED POLYBUTADIENE/IPDI COPOLYMER is particularly useful in long-wearing makeup products, sunscreens, and anti-aging formulations. It can help improve the water resistance of products and enhance their ability to withstand sebum and sweat. The copolymer's film-forming properties also make it valuable in products designed to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by creating a smooth, even surface on the skin.
