PPG-3 GLYCERYL ETHER DIACRYLATE/ADIPATE.

Valuable CAS 73378-73-1 / FILM FORMING

PPG-3 Glyceryl Ether Diacrylate/Adipate is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient that acts as a film-forming agent and emollient, crucial for maintaining skin hydration and smoothness. It also functions as a solvent, aiding in ingredient dispersion and enhancing product aesthetics.

Summary

emollient film-forming skin conditioning solvent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by forming a protective film on the skin's surface, which helps to minimize transepidermal water loss and maintain optimal hydration levels, contributing to softer and smoother skin. As an emollient, it conditions the skin, ensuring a healthy barrier function. Furthermore, its solvent properties allow for the effective dissolution and uniform distribution of other cosmetic components, including pigments, thereby improving the consistency and finish of formulations.

Stability

A related ingredient, di-PPG-3 myristyl ether adipate, exhibits excellent compatibility with castor oil, allowing for partial or complete substitution in formulations like lipsticks. Its inherent low skin-spreading characteristics are beneficial for preventing product migration or 'creeping' into fine lines and creases.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has affirmed the safety of this ingredient, along with 130 other alkyl PEG/PPG ethers, when used in concentrations up to 3% and formulated to be non-irritating. The panel noted that these large molecular structures are less likely to penetrate the skin deeply or enter systemic circulation. Studies indicated they are not genotoxic and pose no reproductive or developmental toxicity risks. A related compound, di-PPG-3 myristyl ether adipate, meets no GHS hazard criteria.
