PEG-3 DIROSINATE.

Optional CAS 242812-90-4 / SKIN CONDITIONING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

PEG-3 Dirosinate is a polyethylene glycol diester derived from rosin acids. It functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent and a viscosity controller in formulations. Additionally, it exhibits surfactant and emulsifying properties, aiding in product stability and cleansing.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a polyethylene glycol diester, PEG-3 Dirosinate functions by reducing the surface tension of cosmetic ingredients. This allows oil and water-based components to mix more effectively, facilitating emulsification and solubilization of other ingredients that might otherwise be insoluble. It also actively conditions the skin, contributing to a smoother feel, and helps achieve desired product consistency by controlling viscosity.
