ETHYLENEDIAMINE/STEARYL DIMER TALLATE COPOLYMER

Description

ETHYLENEDIAMINE/STEARYL DIMER TALLATE COPOLYMER is a synthetic polymer used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. This multifunctional ingredient serves as a film-former, viscosity controller, and emulsion stabilizer. Its unique structure combines the properties of ethylenediamine and stearyl dimer tallate, resulting in a versatile compound with both hydrophilic and lipophilic characteristics.

In skincare products, this copolymer enhances texture and improves the overall feel of formulations. It forms a protective film on the skin's surface, helping to lock in moisture and create a smooth, velvety finish. The ingredient's ability to control viscosity allows for the creation of stable emulsions with varying consistencies, from light lotions to rich creams.

ETHYLENEDIAMINE/STEARYL DIMER TALLATE COPOLYMER is particularly useful in long-wearing makeup formulations, as it contributes to improved adhesion and water resistance. It also aids in the even distribution of pigments and active ingredients throughout a product. While generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, individuals with sensitive skin or known allergies to similar compounds should perform patch tests before regular use.
