About

A polyurethane film former built from polycaprolactone, PEG/PPG and IPDI isocyanate. Used for water-resistant, flexible cosmetic films. Cured polymer is inert; residual isocyanate and dioxane control are the key levers.

Skin benefits

  • Long-wear film former for makeup
  • Flexible, water-resistant film
  • Smooth, even spread

Known concerns

  • IPDI monomer is a respiratory sensitiser — residuals matter
  • Limited public consumer-safety data on this exact copolymer
  • PEG blocks need dioxane-controlled grade
