Recommended Uses & Known Applications

Dermol 89 is a highly branched, low molecular weight ester that exhibits unique characteristics including extremely low freeze point, low viscosity, 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 89 lend themselves for use in numerous cosmetic applications; for example, skin toners, bath oils, light creams and lotions. In addition, Dermol 89 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. It also functions as a binder for powders and pigments.
