Lithium is a chemical element (light metal) from the group of alkali metals. Polyethylene (PE) denotes a plastic produced by chain polymerisation of ethene (CH2=CH2) with the simplified structural formula (-CH2- CH2-) xn.
Lithium oxidized polyethylene is a polymer which is used in cosmetic formulations. Lithium oxidized polyethylene acts as a film former (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied) and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products).
