Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 is a lanolin-like synthetic ester emollient used as a vegan alternative to lanolin. It provides excellent moisturization, film-forming properties, and a rich skin feel, making it ideal for lip balms, moisturizers, protective creams, and color cosmetics. It delivers the sensory profile of lanolin without animal-derived ingredients.
This vegan lanolin alternative is a highly branched synthetic ester designed to replicate the functional benefits of lanolin—without any animal origin. It forms a protective layer that reduces water loss and conditions skin and lips with a soft, cushiony finish.
Use as a partial or full replacement for lanolin, lanolin oil, or petrolatum. Can be combined with waxes or butter to adjust payoff and melting behavior in balms and stick formats.
Heat gently in the oil phase until fully melted. Stable across a wide pH and temperature range.
