Wickenol 163 is a balanced blend of three branched esters. This nonlinearity allows it to exhibit unique characteristics such as low freeze point, low viscosity, good penetrating power without oiliness, excellent solubility and compatibility in a variety of ingredients such as esters, alcohols, mineral and vegetable oils and volatile silicones. This highly versatile material can be used in many cosmetic formulations such as skin toners, light creams and lotions.
