Wickenol 151 is a highly branched low molecular weight dry and silky 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 Wickenol 151 lend themselves for use in numerous cosmetic applications; for example, skin toners, bath oils, light creams and lotions. Wickenol 151 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 powder and pigments and gives a dry feel to powders and foundations
