ISOPROPYL TITANIUM TRIISOSTEARATE/TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE CROSSPOLYMER

Description

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate/Triethoxycaprylylsilane Crosspolymer is an advanced synthetic ingredient utilized in high-performance skincare formulations. This multifunctional compound combines the properties of a surface-treated pigment with the benefits of a crosslinked polymer network. The titanium component provides excellent coverage and light-diffusing properties, while the isostearate and silane elements contribute to improved texture and skin adhesion.

This ingredient is particularly valuable in color cosmetics and sunscreen formulations due to its ability to enhance product stability and improve the dispersion of active ingredients. The crosspolymer structure creates a flexible film on the skin, offering long-lasting wear and resistance to water and sebum. It also helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores by creating a smooth, even surface.

In skincare applications, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate/Triethoxycaprylylsilane Crosspolymer can act as a thickening agent and emulsion stabilizer, contributing to improved product texture and shelf life. Its low comedogenicity makes it suitable for use in a wide range of formulations, including those designed for sensitive or acne-prone skin. This ingredient is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 5%, depending on the specific formulation requirements and desired effects.
