About Polyurethane-16

Polyurethane-16 is a crosslinked condensation polymer obtained by addition polymerization of 2 moles of hexamethylene diisocyanate and 1 mole of polycaprolactone triol with 3 terminal hydroxyl groups.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help powder ingredients remain free-flowing rather than clumping and to form a thin film on the surface of skin, hair, or nails after application.[2]
