About

On an ingredient list it is written as Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2. It is synthetic ester (derived from adipic acid plus caprylic/capric/stearic/isostearic/hydroxystearic acids).

In the Formula

It is an emollient. It carries pigment, softens the feel of the film, and keeps the formula from sitting dry on the skin.

The Evidence

Its safety for cosmetic use has been assessed by the expert panel review Safety assessment of bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 and bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-1 as used in cosmetics (Fiume MM, 2013, Int J Toxicol, PMID 24174474). We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.
