Recommended Uses & Known Applications

Dermol 25L is a nonoily, soft emollient with a low freeze point. It is used in low oil content creams and body lotions where it gives an elegant velvety feel to the skin. Dermol 25L imparts luster and body to the hair when incorporated into shampoos and crème rinses. It reduces tackiness and acts as a lubricant and plasticizer for polymer resins in aerosol hair spray formulations and antiperspirants. Also, since Dermol 25L is soluble in alcohol, it is highly effective for use in colognes, after shave and body lotions.
