Triethylene Glycol Rosinate
Triethylene glycol rosinate is an ester of rosin and triethylene glycol, primarily used as a film-forming agent and adhesive in cosmetics. It helps to create a flexible film on the skin or hair, which can improve product longevity and water resistance. This ingredient is commonly found in depilatory waxes and mascaras.
