POLYPROPANEDIOL-5/POLYGLYCERIN-3 COPOLYMER SESQUISTEARATE

Description

POLYPROPANEDIOL-5/POLYGLYCERIN-3 COPOLYMER SESQUISTEARATE is a multifunctional ingredient used in advanced skincare formulations. This complex polymer is synthesized by combining polypropanediol-5 and polyglycerin-3, resulting in a unique copolymer structure. The sesquistearate ester group further enhances its properties, making it an invaluable component in various skincare products.

This ingredient primarily functions as an emollient and emulsifier, providing excellent moisturizing benefits while helping to stabilize formulations. It creates a smooth, non-greasy film on the skin, improving texture and enhancing the overall sensory experience of products. The copolymer structure allows for superior water retention, contributing to long-lasting hydration.

POLYPROPANEDIOL-5/POLYGLYCERIN-3 COPOLYMER SESQUISTEARATE also exhibits mild surfactant properties, aiding in the even distribution of active ingredients throughout formulations. Its compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients makes it versatile for use in creams, lotions, and serums. Additionally, this compound can help improve the spreadability of products, ensuring uniform application and enhanced efficacy of other active ingredients.
