Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene
What Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene is & what it does
Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene is a synthetic hydrocarbon resin produced by polymerizing and then hydrogenating cyclopentadiene. In cosmetics it functions as a film former and binder, used especially in long-wear makeup and lip products to improve gloss, adhesion, and transfer resistance. The hydrogenation makes it colorless, stable, and oxidation-resistant. It is valued for building durable, water-resistant films.
