What it is used for and where
Polyesters are synthetic polycondensation polymers that are generally derived from dicarboxylic organic acids and diols and contain an ester functional group on the main polymer chain.

Cosmetics
Film-forming agent. It produces a continuous ultra-thin film with an optimal balance of cohesion, adhesion and stickiness on the skin or hair to counteract or limit damage from external phenomena such as chemicals, UV rays and pollution.
