Other ingredient
Polydiethyleneglycol Adipate/IPDI Copolymer
Polydiethyleneglycol Adipate/IPDI Copolymer is a polyurethane formed by the reaction of diethylene glycol adipate (a polyester diol) with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI, a cycloaliphatic diisocyanate). In cosmetics it is used as a polymeric film-former and texture agent in cleansing balm formulations, contributing to the product's viscosity and texture without requiring excess hard waxes. The finished polyurethane is non-reactive and does not contain free isocyanate groups.

Benefits
- ✓Polyurethane copolymer synthesized from diethylene glycol adipate and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) that provides film-forming and texture-modifying properties in cleansing balm formulations
- ✓Contributes to the 'bouncy' or gel-like texture of cleansing balms without relying on waxes alone, allowing softer, easier-to-scoop textures
- ✓Non-stripping on skin — the polymer resides in the oil phase and rinses away with the emulsifier upon water contact
No known watch-fors.
