Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin)

Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin) is a synthetic polymer derived from petroleum. It functions as an emollient, providing a smooth feel and helping to prevent moisture loss from the skin. It also acts as a film-former, creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface.
