IPDI/PEG-15 SOYAMINE COPOLYMER DIMER DILINOLEATE

Description

IPDI/PEG-15 Soyamine Copolymer Dimer Dilinoleate is a multifunctional ingredient used in advanced skincare and cosmetic formulations. This complex compound is a copolymer derived from isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), polyethylene glycol (PEG-15), and soyamine, combined with dimer dilinoleate. Its unique structure provides several beneficial properties for skin applications.

The ingredient functions primarily as a film-forming agent and emollient, creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier helps to reduce transepidermal water loss, promoting better hydration and skin elasticity. The soyamine component contributes to its skin-conditioning properties, while the dimer dilinoleate offers excellent spreadability and a smooth, non-greasy feel.

IPDI/PEG-15 Soyamine Copolymer Dimer Dilinoleate also exhibits good compatibility with various cosmetic ingredients, enhancing the overall stability and texture of formulations. It is particularly useful in long-wearing makeup products, sunscreens, and moisturizers, where it can improve product adherence to the skin and extend wear time. The ingredient's ability to form a flexible film makes it suitable for use in anti-aging products, helping to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
