BIS-PEG-10 DIMETHICONE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER

Description

BIS-PEG-10 DIMETHICONE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER is a versatile silicone-based ingredient commonly used in advanced skincare and haircare formulations. This copolymer combines the properties of dimethicone, a silicone oil, with dimer dilinoleate, a fatty acid derivative, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains.

The ingredient functions as an emollient, film-former, and conditioning agent, providing multiple benefits in cosmetic products. In skincare, it helps create a smooth, non-greasy barrier on the skin's surface, improving moisture retention and enhancing the overall feel of formulations. For haircare applications, it offers excellent conditioning properties, reducing frizz and improving manageability without weighing hair down.

BIS-PEG-10 DIMETHICONE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER is particularly valued for its ability to enhance the spreadability and texture of products, making it ideal for use in serums, lotions, and hair styling products. Its unique chemical structure allows it to form a flexible, breathable film that helps protect against environmental stressors while maintaining a light, non-occlusive feel. This ingredient is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic formulations and is suitable for various skin and hair types.
