- Dermol 145 is a non-oily medium chain length emollient ester derived from a vegetable source Alcohol and branched Carboxylic Acid. It displays unique physical characteristics including low freeze point, low viscosity, good penetrating power, excellent solubility, and compatibility in a variety of ingredients such as other esters, volatile silicones and mineral and vegetable oils.
- Dermol 145 is a non-greasy ester exhibiting substantive emolliency. It has a relatively low cloud point and aids as a cloud/freeze point depressant, emulsion stabilizer, and in freeze-thaw stability. Dermol 145 is reported to be a very mild emollient with a low level of skin and eye irritation as compared to other emollients such as isopropyl myristate. This advantageous quality suggests its use in all types of cosmetic preparations recommended for superior skin care, particularly when applied in the vicinity of the eyes. It may also be used as a substitute for mineral oil and as a binder and dispersant for pigment in make-up formulations.
