What is it?
Polyglyceryl-2 Isostearate/Dimer Dilinoleate Copolymer is a biodegradable, plant-derived copolymer used in cosmetics as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and film-forming agent. It helps blend oil and liquid components, creating smooth, stable emulsions with an elegant, lightweight texture.
Where does it come from?
This ingredient is made by combining polyglycerin (from plant oils) with isostearic acid and dimer dilinoleic acid, both derived from natural fatty acids found in plant oils such as soybean, sunflower, or rapeseed. The result is a renewable, skin-friendly alternative to synthetic polymers and traditional emulsifiers.
