About
A conditioning polymer that helps create a smoother, more protective feel on skin.
Caproyl Citric Acid/Propylene Glycol/Succinic Acid Copolymer is a copolymer of Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol and Succinic Acid end-capped with Capric Acid. This is a conditioning polymer designed to improve slip, emollience, or a flexible protective feel on skin. High molecular weight materials in this class usually have low direct toxicity, with formulation impurities and environmental persistence being the more relevant caveats.
