GLYCERIN/ISOPHTHALIC ACID COPOLYMER CASTORATE.

Insufficient Data / FILM FORMING

This ingredient functions primarily as a film-forming agent, creating a protective layer on the skin's surface. Its glycerin component may also indirectly contribute to moisture retention by enhancing this barrier.

Summary

Science

Mechanism of Action

GLYCERIN/ISOPHTHALIC ACID COPOLYMER CASTORATE operates by forming a cohesive, protective film on the skin. This polymeric structure aids in reducing transepidermal water loss, thereby indirectly supporting skin hydration and barrier function.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed GLYCERIN/ISOPHTHALIC ACID COPOLYMER CASTORATE as a distinct ingredient. However, glycerin, a key component, is considered safe for cosmetic use, with reported concentrations up to 78.5% in leave-on products. Glycerin is also FDA GRAS. Formulators should ensure glycerin derived from the Jatropha plant is monitored for potential phorbol esters.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While this ingredient functions as a film-former to provide a protective layer on the skin, specific safety, irritancy, and comedogenicity data for the copolymer are currently insufficient to provide a definitive recommendation.
