PPG-3 MYRISTYL ETHER NEOHEPTANOATE.

Valuable CAS 325726-83-8 / SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

A versatile polymeric ester, PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Neoheptanoate functions as a skin conditioning agent and emollient. It delivers a soft, cushioned feel to the skin, helping to fortify the skin barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss for enhanced hydration.

Summary

emollient skin conditioning pigment wetting agent emulsion stabilizer mattifying

Science

Mechanism of Action

This polymeric ester adheres to the skin, providing a beneficial emollient action that enhances the skin's natural barrier function by supplementing exogenous lipids. This process significantly improves hydration and offers protection against inflammation by minimizing transepidermal water loss, thus helping to maintain the skin in optimal condition. Beyond its emollient properties, it acts as a pigment wetting agent, which facilitates superior dispersion of metallic oxides (such as Titanium, Zinc, and Iron), leading to improved coverage and reduced viscosity in formulations with high pigment concentrations. It also contributes to a mattifying effect and functions as an emulsion stabilizer.
