View all →What Is Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate?
Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate is a synthetic emollient derived from adipic acid, a naturally occurring organic compound. It functions as a skin conditioner and emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin barrier. The ingredient also serves a minor role as a surfactant, meaning it can help other ingredients blend smoothly into formulations.
You'll find this ingredient in a range of skincare and cosmetic products, where it's valued for its ability to improve skin feel and product spreadability without leaving a heavy residue.
Benefits for Your Skin
How It Works
Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate works as an emollient by depositing a thin, protective layer on the skin's surface. This layer helps to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL)—the natural evaporation of moisture from the skin—whilst maintaining a comfortable, non-occlusive feel.
Its surfactant properties also allow it to improve how other ingredients mix into a formula, contributing to a more stable and elegant texture that applies evenly to the skin.
Clinical Evidence & References
Research on adipate-based ingredients suggests they are absorbed minimally through skin when applied topically in cosmetic formulations. Studies examining related adipate compounds in typical use concentrations indicate low systemic exposure, though individual sensitivity remains possible.
While specific clinical data on this ingredient's hydrating efficacy is limited, its widespread use in skincare products and established safety profile suggest it performs a reliable conditioning function at typical concentrations. More targeted studies would help clarify its precise benefits compared to other emollients.

How to Use
Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate is typically found in creams, serums and lightweight moisturisers, where it works alongside other emollients and humectants. It's generally well-suited to daily use as part of your regular skincare routine and can be layered with other products without concern.
