HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer

HDI/Trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer is a polymeric anticaking agent.

An anticaking agent is a type of ingredient that reduces the moisture content in a given product and prevents the product from forming lumps. Common products this is found in include table salt and shredded cheese, but it is also used in cosmetics, such as powders and even lotions.

HDI/Trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer offers a ball-bearing effect, as well, where it increases slip and produces an elegant finish in skincare products.

The ball-bearing effect is where the tiny microspheres of the ingredient reduce friction and allow the product to glide seamlessly. This also has an improved effect on blendability, so the products can be more evenly applied to the skin.
