HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer

HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer

A spherical polymer powder used to soften focus, blur the look of texture, and absorb excess oil.

What it does

HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer is a synthetic polymer supplied as tiny round particles. The spheres scatter light to soften the look of pores and fine lines, add a smooth powdery slip, and can absorb some oil. It is an optical-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
