Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer DilinoleateBarrier
A heavy plant-sterol ester used to thicken oils, bind pigments, and add a cushiony feel.
What it does
Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate is a large branched ester built from plant sterols and fatty acids. It thickens the oil phase, binds and wets pigments, and gives a rich, cushiony slip, so it is used to structure balms and color products. It is an emollient-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
