HYDROGENATED BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS/ALEURITES FORDII OIL COPOLYMER

Description

Hydrogenated Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordii Oil Copolymer is a versatile and innovative skincare ingredient derived from the hydrogenation of rapeseed (Brassica campestris) and tung (Aleurites fordii) oils. This copolymer functions as an emollient and film-forming agent in various cosmetic formulations. Its unique structure allows it to create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, helping to lock in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss.

The ingredient exhibits excellent spreadability and leaves a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin. It is particularly valued for its ability to enhance the texture and sensory properties of skincare products, imparting a silky, luxurious touch. The hydrogenation process increases the stability of the original plant oils, resulting in a longer shelf life and improved resistance to oxidation.

Hydrogenated Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordii Oil Copolymer is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and can be incorporated into various formulations, including creams, lotions, and serums. It is especially beneficial in anti-aging products, where it can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by providing a temporary plumping effect to the skin.
