Versagel® MP 750 is a gelled fatty ester made from isopropyl palmitate. Isopropyl palmitate is an emollient ester derived from isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid. Similar to hydrocarbon gels with similar chain length, the Versagel MP materials are equipped with a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain to provide skin occlusivity. Additionally, they have a carboxylic functionality near the end of the molecule to give a drier and lighter skin feel. Versagel MP acts as a fast spreading emollient providing moisturization and efficient absorption. It provides a soft and supple texture as well as good spreading characteristics. Isopropyl palmitate is an established penetration enhancer for transdermal systems and the innovative gelled option can provide better functionality and esthetics.
