Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 is widely used as a vegan alternative to lanolin, offering a similar cushiony slip, gloss, and protective barrier feel. It improves pay-off and comfort in lip products and balms, increases water resistance, and enhances adhesion in long-wear cosmetic systems.

Performance & Usage

Key Benefits

• Vegan alternative to lanolin with rich cushion and comfort
• Enhances adhesion, payoff, and wear in lip and color products
• Creates a protective barrier feel (occlusive emolliency)
• Improves gloss and “balm-like” sensory profile
• Supports water resistance and reduced transepidermal moisture loss feel

Suggested Use Level

• Typical use: 1% – 15%
• Lip balms / salves: 5% – 20%
• Long-wear / adhesion boost: 2% – 10%

How to Use

• Add to the oil phase and heat as needed to melt and blend (commonly 60–80 °C depending on system).
• Mix until fully uniform, then proceed with waxes, butters, esters, and oils.
• On cool-down, it contributes structure, gloss, and cushion.

Formulation Notes

• Texture and firmness are temperature dependent.
• Pairs well with castor oil, polybutene, isododecane, hydrogenated polyisobutene, and ester blends.
• Excellent in lip oils, glosses, balm sticks, ointment-style balms, and barrier creams.

Applications

• Lip balms, lip masks, and salves
