Tridecyl TrimellitateBarrier

A heavy ester emollient used to bind pigments, add gloss, and give long-lasting wear.

What it does

Tridecyl Trimellitate is a branched ester with three fatty chains. It is a thick, water-resistant emollient that wets and binds pigments, adds gloss, and helps color products wear longer. It is an emollient-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
