HEXANEDIOL/ADIPATE/CITRATE CROSSPOLYMER

Description

Hexanediol/Adipate/Citrate Crosspolymer is an innovative synthetic polymer designed for advanced skincare formulations. This multifunctional ingredient serves as a film-forming agent, emulsion stabilizer, and texture enhancer. Its unique cross-linked structure, composed of hexanediol, adipic acid, and citric acid components, provides excellent stability and versatility in various cosmetic applications.

The crosspolymer forms a breathable, flexible film on the skin's surface, contributing to improved moisture retention and enhanced product performance. Its ability to create a smooth, even texture makes it particularly useful in foundations, BB creams, and other complexion products. The ingredient also aids in the even distribution of active compounds and pigments within formulations.

Hexanediol/Adipate/Citrate Crosspolymer exhibits good compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, including both oil and water-based components. This versatility allows formulators to create stable, long-lasting products with improved sensory properties. The polymer's film-forming capabilities can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, providing a temporary smoothing effect on the skin's surface.
