Wickenol 177 is a highly branched, low molecular weight, dry, silky ester that exhibits unique characteristics including extremely low freeze point, low viscosity, good penetrating and anti-tacking power. Other outstanding qualities of Wickenol 177 are solubility and compatibility in a variety of ingredients such as esters, silicones, mineral and vegetable oils. The unique properties of Wickenol 177 lend themselves for use in numerous cosmetic applications; i.e, light facial creams, body lotions, skin toners, skincare products and bath oils. Additionally, Wickenol 177 acts a replacement for volatile silicones in anti-perspirants where it reduces tackiness and prevents clogging in aerosols.
