Sesame oil/succinic acid/tiricinolein copolymer means a polymer obtained by transesterification of Sesamum Indicum (sesame) oil with succinicacid and triricinolein (1,2,3-propanetriyltri(12-hydroxy-9(Z)-octadecenoate). "Copolymer" means a polymer composed of several different (usually two) basic units (monomers).

Sesame oil/succinic acid/tiricinolein copolymer is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple).

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

Transesterification is a chemical reaction in which one ester is converted into another. In transesterification, the alcohol residue of an ester is replaced by another alcohol residue.
