Powder form of adipic acid and neopentyl glycol is a new and novel polymer that imparts a silky, creamy, cushioned feel to the finished product. The particles are porous spheres that allow for high oil loading, which is useful for active entrapment, stabilization and sebum absorption. The particles 'roll' rather than 'drag', adding exceptional slip to any formulation. The chemical composition gives it dry binding properties and also allow it to be used in both water and oil phases, resulting in improved formula stability and reduced tackiness.
