About
A high-molecular-weight polyester emollient that gives a silky, non-greasy slip in lotions and balms. Large polymers like this are too big to penetrate skin, which makes them very low-irritant.

Skin benefits
- Lightweight emollient with smooth, non-greasy feel
- Improves spreadability of formulations
- Low sensitization potential typical of high-MW esters
Known concerns
