TRIS(ACETIMINOACETOXYETHOXY METHACRYLATE) PPG-6 TRIMETHYLOLPROPANE

Description

TRIS(ACETIMINOACETOXYETHOXY METHACRYLATE) PPG-6 TRIMETHYLOLPROPANE is a multifunctional ingredient used in advanced skincare formulations. This complex compound combines the properties of a methacrylate derivative with a propylene glycol polymer, offering unique benefits in cosmetic applications.

The methacrylate component provides film-forming properties, enhancing the texture and feel of skincare products while potentially improving their adherence to the skin. The PPG-6 (polypropylene glycol) portion acts as a humectant and emollient, attracting moisture to the skin and helping to maintain hydration.

This ingredient may contribute to the stability of formulations and can assist in the even distribution of active ingredients. Its structure suggests potential use in products designed for extended wear or those requiring a smooth, long-lasting finish.

In skincare, it may be found in moisturizers, serums, or foundations, particularly those marketed for their long-wearing or hydrating properties. While generally considered safe for topical use, as with any complex ingredient, patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions to cosmetic products.
