DIGLYCERYL SEBACATE/ISOPALMITATE

Description

DIGLYCERYL SEBACATE/ISOPALMITATE is a versatile emollient and skin conditioning agent widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. This synthetic ester is derived from the combination of diglycerin, sebacic acid, and isopalmitic acid. Its primary function is to improve the texture and spreadability of skincare products while providing moisturizing benefits to the skin.

The ingredient exhibits excellent compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic formulations, including creams, lotions, and serums. It has a light, non-greasy feel on the skin, making it suitable for various skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. DIGLYCERYL SEBACATE/ISOPALMITATE helps to create a smooth, silky texture in products, enhancing their sensory appeal and user experience.

In addition to its emollient properties, this ingredient also acts as a mild occlusive agent, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss and maintain skin hydration. It is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for use in cosmetic applications. DIGLYCERYL SEBACATE/ISOPALMITATE is particularly beneficial in formulations designed for dry or mature skin, as it helps to improve skin softness and suppleness without leaving a heavy residue.
