Overview
Capryloyl glycerin/sebacic acid copolymer is a type of ingredient known as a film former.
The polymer nature of this ingredient, or the large molecular structure made up of small repeating units, makes capryloyl glycerin/sebacic acid copolymer great for creating water-resistant films on the skin. This is useful for sunscreens or even non-SPF lotions – anywhere the user wants to avoid rinsing away the product with water or sweat.
The oil-loving character of this ingredient helps provide the products with a smooth skin feel upon application, and it is sometimes referred to as a natural dimethicone alternative.
