DUB Estoline® is an advanced polymeric ester emollient developed for modern cosmetic formulations. Unlike conventional surfactants, it functions primarily as an emollient, film former and conditioning agent.
Its structured molecular architecture helps create a comfortable, flexible film on the skin, giving formulations a distinctive “second-skin” or cocooning feel. It can contribute to softness, comfort and a smooth after-feel while helping reduce the perception of dryness.
DUB Estoline is particularly suitable for premium skin care, makeup, sun care and selected hair care formulations where a luxurious sensory profile and protective film-forming performance are desired. The supplier describes the ingredient as palm-free and derived from castor oil through a green-chemistry process.
