C20-24 OLEFIN/OLEYL ALCOHOL COPOLYMER.

Valuable CAS - / FILM FORMING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

A high-performance synthetic copolymer that bridges the gap between texture enhancement and structural integrity in skincare formulations. It serves as a sophisticated stabilizer and emollient, specifically engineered to provide long-lasting hydration and water resistance without the need for traditional surfactants.

Summary

Film Forming Emollient Skin Conditioning Viscosity Controlling Emulsion Stabilizer

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by creating a flexible, breathable, and hydrophobic film across the epidermis, significantly reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). At the molecular level, it acts as a rheology modifier that anchors at the interface of oil and water phases, stabilizing the formula's viscosity and ensuring a seamless, silky application.
