About
An emollient diester that smooths skin texture and helps lock in moisture, commonly used in moisturizers and body lotions.
Octyldodecyl/PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Dimer Dilinoleate is the diester formed by reacting Octyldodecanol and PPG-3 Myristyl Ether with Dilinoleic Acid, itself derived from natural linoleic acid sources. It is not listed in EU Annex II (prohibited substances) or Annex III (restricted substances) under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and presents no significant toxicity concerns at cosmetic use concentrations. Its large molecular weight and ester structure make systemic absorption unlikely.
