A cosmetic ingredient used as emulsion stabilising, skin conditioning - emollient, surfactant - emulsifying in skincare, haircare, and personal-care products sold in the European Union.
What is it?
Diglycerin/Dilinoleic Acid/Hydroxystearic Acid Copolymer is a copolymer of Diglycerin, Dilinoleic Acid, and Hydroxystearic Acid monomers; 12-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, polymer with 9,12(Z,Z) octadecadienoic acid dimer and oxybis-1,1'-propane-2,3-diol
What does it do?
Diglycerin/dilinoleic Acid/hydroxystearic Acid Copolymer is listed in the EU cosmetic ingredient inventory with the following declared functions:
-
Emulsion stabilising
stabilises emulsions of oil and water, preventing separation over time
-
Skin conditioning - emollient
softens the skin by reducing roughness and friction between skin cells
-
Surfactant - emulsifying
surfactant that forms and stabilises emulsions of oil and water — without it, creams and lotions would separate
-
Viscosity controlling
adjusts the thickness or flow of a formulation
