Dilinoleic Acid/Propanediol Copolymer
Dilinoleic Acid/Propanediol Copolymer is an oil-soluble film-forming polymer derived from dilinoleic acid and propanediol. It's chosen to create flexible, breathable films that improve cohesion, limit flaking, and refine application in skincare and makeup.

Our take
Is Dilinoleic Acid/Propanediol Copolymer a Good Ingredient?
Good: strengthens cohesion and transfer resistance with a breathable film, but lacks strong clinical data for skin outcomes, so it’s rated for performance rather than treatment benefits. Usually non-sensitizing in rinse-off or leave-on formats.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Promotes long-lasting wear that moves with skin without feeling tight. Helps reduce transfer and improves the look of a smooth, even finish.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Often used in mascaras, brow gels, and liquid or cream foundations, and in tinted moisturizers to support stay-put performance.
Before you use it
Safety
Low irritation potential and considered compatible with most skin types. Ensure thorough cleansing to remove long-wear films, especially around eyes and lips. No common regulatory limitations at typical use levels.
