Octyldodecyl/PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Dimer Dilinoleate

Octyldodecyl/PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Dimer Dilinoleate is a polymeric liquid emollient containing essential fatty acids. It provides the conditioning effects of omega-6-linoleic acid in a high molecular weight, moderate viscosity polymeric ester.

Essential fatty acids are well-known and widely used in the cosmetic industry for their ability to help normalize and promote the formation of normal, healthy skin. A study comparing Octyldodecyl/PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Dimer Dilinoleate and mineral oil indicated that the skin’s barrier properties were enhanced by the PolyEFA as well as a notable improvement in the overall skin moisturization.

Octyldodecyl/PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Dimer Dilinoleate’s high refractive index imparts gloss to various formulations. It has excellent pigment-dispersing properties in makeup and sunscreen products and enhances makeup removal in skin cleansers.

As the cosmetic industry continues its move away from animal-sourced active ingredients, technology, and innovation provide more effective raw materials to achieve the desired characteristics in cosmetic formulations. Octyldodecyl/PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Dimer Dilinoleate does not only enhance the feel and aesthetics of a formulation, but it can also increase the shine or gloss, improve the dispersion of pigments in decorative cosmetics, offer moisturization properties, and provide the desired functionality that may be lacking from a formulation.

As a simple addition to new or existing formulations, Octyldodecyl/PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Dimer Dilinoleate can maximize the performance of virtually any product ranging from lipsticks and skin creams to makeup foundations and sunscreens.
