INCI name

PPG-26/Dimer Dilinoleate Copolymer

Identifier

CIG-1275

PPG-26/Dimer Dilinoleate Copolymer (trade name Pelemol® D-2000) is a clear viscous, pourable liquid that is extremely substantive and glossy. Substantivity to the skin is so intense that repeated washing with soap and water does not completely remove the product.

Although tacky, a film of PPG-26/Dimer Dilinoleate Copolymer becomes extremely slippery when wet with water. It is suitable for lipsticks, sunscreens, and decorative cosmetics.
