GLYCOL/SEBACIC ACID COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data CAS 25037-32-5 / ABRASIVE, FILM FORMING, SKIN CONDITIONING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

GLYCOL/SEBACIC ACID COPOLYMER is a synthetic polymer designed to form a protective, continuous film on the skin's surface. This multifunctional ingredient helps to condition the skin and impede moisture evaporation, contributing to enhanced hydration. Furthermore, it precisely controls the viscosity of cosmetic formulations, optimizing product texture.

film forming skin conditioning viscosity controlling

Science

Mechanism of Action

This copolymer functions primarily by creating a resilient, continuous film across the epidermis, which acts as a physical barrier. This film formation is critical in preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby supporting the skin's natural moisture balance and maintaining its conditioned state. Additionally, its polymeric structure allows for precise manipulation of a product's viscosity, influencing its texture and application properties.

While GLYCOL/SEBACIC ACID COPOLYMER has not undergone a specific safety review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel, nor have maximum cosmetic use concentrations been established, a related compound, 'poly(ethylene glycol-co-sebacic acid),' holds FDA authorization as an indirect food additive under specific conditions (21 CFR parts 175.105, 175.300, 175.320). All cosmetic ingredients are subject to rigorous safety assessments as per regulatory requirements.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

GLYCOL/SEBACIC ACID COPOLYMER exhibits valuable functional properties as a film-former, skin conditioner, and viscosity controller, but comprehensive, specific safety and efficacy data for cosmetic applications remain largely undefined for precision formulation.
