POLY(C30-45 OLEFIN).

Valuable CAS - / FILM FORMING

POLY(C30-45 OLEFIN) is a synthetic polymer prized for its skin conditioning and film-forming properties. It creates a protective layer on the skin's surface, effectively locking in moisture and helping to maintain skin health and hydration.

Summary

Skin Conditioning Film-forming

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by forming a thin, occlusive film on the stratum corneum. This physical barrier significantly reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby preventing dehydration and dryness. By supporting the skin's natural moisture balance, it helps keep the skin feeling soft and supple.
