Can I use Polydiethyleneglycol Adipate/IPDI Copolymer with Synthetic Wax?
Works well together
Polydiethyleneglycol Adipate/IPDI Copolymer and Synthetic Wax are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
- ✓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
Synthetic WaxOther
- ✓Adds structure and hardness to balms and solid formulas
- ✓Improves texture consistency and payoff in color cosmetics
- ✓Predictable, batch-to-batch consistent performance
