HDI/PPG/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer
What HDI/PPG/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer is & what it does
A soft, spherical powder that gives a silky slip and soft-focus blur while absorbing oil. It refines texture and mattifies.
What does HDI/PPG/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer do in skincare?
HDI/PPG/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer is a synthetic polymer typically used as a film former and texture enhancer. It can help create a smooth, even surface and improve the wear or feel of a product. In sunscreens, film-forming polymers like this may help the formula spread evenly and stay in place.
Is HDI/PPG/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer comedogenic?
There is little published comedogenicity data for this polymer, so a reliable rating is not available. It is a large crosspolymer that tends to sit on the skin surface as a film rather than penetrate. As with any film former, results on acne-prone skin depend on the overall formula, and patch testing is sensible.
Is HDI/PPG/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer natural or synthetic?
It is synthetic. The name reflects a crosslinked polymer built from a diisocyanate (HDI), polypropylene glycol (PPG), and polycaprolactone, all lab-made building blocks combined into one network.
