What Is HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer?
HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer is a synthetic polymer that is used as a texture-enhancing and anti-caking agent in cosmetics. It is a spherical powder that provides excellent slip and fluidity to formulas, and it gives a soft-focus effect that helps to blur the look of wrinkles. It is often combined with another spherical powder, polymethylsilsesquioxane, to form a high-performing texturizing duo. This combination has strong de-tackifying and anti-caking properties.
