Technical Details & Test Data

Test Data

These are available with Tinogard®, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate and will be indicated by a T in the name. Tinogard® is a registered trademark of Ciba Specialty Chemical Corporation.

The TEWL test shows gelled mineral oil improves moisturization by 53% more than mineral oil alone. Using a gelled product in your formulation can significantly improve its moisturization benefits.

No change in suspension capabilities under test conditions. Gelled mineral oil maintains suspension of active ingredients at a very high load.
