Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene

1. Definition Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene:

Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene is a synthetic polymer that is commonly used in cosmetics as a film-forming agent and binder. It is formed through the hydrogenation of Polydicyclopentadiene, which results in improved stability and resistance to oxidation.

2. Use:

Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene is used in cosmetics to create a smooth and even application of makeup products such as foundations, concealers, and lipsticks. It helps to improve the longevity of the product on the skin and enhances its adherence to the skin surface.

3. Usage Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene:

When using cosmetics containing Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. It is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, but individuals with sensitive skin may want to perform a patch test before applying it to a larger area of the skin. If any irritation or adverse reactions occur, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
