Dermol™ 189 is a highly branched, low cloud point, light to medium emollient ester similar to the natural oil derived from waterfowl. It exhibits unique characteristics including extremely low freeze point, good penetrating power, excellent solubility and compatibility in a variety of ingredients such as esters, volatile silicones, mineral and vegetable oils. The unique properties of Dermol™ 189 lend themselves for use in numerous cosmetic applications, i.e., moisturizing facial creams and lotions, as a binder for pigmented products and for makeup removers. Because of its unique structure, branching and low viscosity, Dermol™ 189 also finds many uses as a solvent, solubilizer and plasticizer for nail enamels, acrylic coating and methyl methacrylatics.
