What Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate is & what it does
Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate is a large, branched ester built from dimerized linoleic acid units, giving a heavy, cushiony emollient. It is prized for forming a flexible, water-resistant film, so it is often used to boost the wear and spreadability of long-lasting makeup and sunscreens. Its high molecular weight makes it feel rich yet non-tacky and helps lock other ingredients onto the skin. It has no sun-filtering function of its own.
