Science
Mechanism of Action
Operating as a highly effective emollient, DIMER DILINOLEYL BIS-POLYRICINOLEATE forms a stable, hydrophobic film on the skin's surface. This occlusive barrier minimizes transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby intensely hydrating and conditioning the complexion. Beyond its moisturizing capabilities, this protective film also helps shield the skin from environmental stressors and can optimize the delivery of co-formulated active ingredients, while imparting a luxurious, silky consistency to cosmetic formulations.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has assessed the safety of structurally related Dimer Dilinoleates, including 'Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate', deeming them safe for cosmetic applications at current use concentrations. 'Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate' is reported in concentrations up to 48.7% in lipsticks and lip glosses. Studies on these related compounds demonstrated non-irritancy at 100% concentration in 24-hour closed patch tests on human subjects and no sensitization in human repeated-insult patch tests (HRIPTs) at concentrations up to 100%. While a direct SCCS opinion or specific FDA cosmetic ingredient status for DIMER DILINOLEYL BIS-POLYRICINOLEATE is not available, its close chemical kinship to well-evaluated ingredients suggests a similarly favorable safety profile.
