Light stabilizerViscosity controllingreviewed

A synthetic polyurethane-type polymer, used as a thickener.

What it is

PEG-240/HDI copolymer bis-decyltetradeceth-20 ether is a copolymer of polyethylene glycol (an average of 240 ethylene oxide units) and hexamethylene diisocyanate, capped at both ends with decyltetradeceth-20, an ethoxylated branched fatty alcohol. CosIng lists it as a light-stabilising and viscosity-controlling ingredient.

Where it is used

Found in creams, lotions and hair care products.
