Dermol 866 is a unique blend of highly branched low molecular weight esters. This nonlinearity allows it to exhibit unique characteristics such as extremely low freeze point, low viscosity, good penetrating power without oiliness excellent solubility and compatibility in a variety of ingredients such as esters, volatile silicones, mineral and vegetable oils. The unique properties of Dermol 866 lend themselves for use in numerous cosmetic applications: skin toners, bath oils, light creams and lotions. Dermol 866 acts as a replacement for volatile silicones in antiperspirants where it reduces tackiness and prevents clogging in aerosols and as a resin plasticizer in hair sprays. In addition, it is also a useful dispersing aid for carbopol powder.
