PELEMOL

PELEMOL® 9512 is the ester formed by the reaction of Isoamyl Alcohol and Lauric Acid; it is 100% vegetable derived and 100% active. PELEMOL® 9512 has sensorial properties similar to silicone and its broad solubility range suggests it can be used as a silicone replacement. It adds a silky feel to fragrances and acts as a skin conditioning agent, leaving skin with a dry, soft feel. It also enhances the spreadability of pigments where it imparts a silicone-like feel.

PELEMOL® 354 is the triester formed by the reaction of Glycerin with Oleic Acid. It finds application as an occlusive skin conditioning agent as well as in bath and makeup products. Use concentrations can vary from 2 or 3% to as much as 10%.

PELEMOL® EC is composed of the ethyl esters of Canola Oil acids. It is a clear, 100% vegetable derived and 100% active liquid. Surprisingly, PELEMOL® EC exhibits a distinct silicone-like “feel” on skin and, in particular, much like cyclomethicone D5 and low viscosity silicone fluids. Moreover, the solubility profiles for PELEMOL® EC versus cyclomethicone D5 are virtually identical. This suggests ease of formulation and perhaps one-to-one replacement. The refractive indexes for cyclomethicone D5 (1.397) and PELEMOL® EC (1.461) suggest that PELEMOL® EC will provide enhanced sheen in formulations. Use levels can range from 2 – 20%.

PELEMOL® 123 is Oleyl Linoleate Linolenate, derived from the esterification of Oleyl Alcohol. It is 100% active Oleyl Linoleate/Linolenate as major components with 5-10% Oleyl alcohol esters of other C16-C20 fatty acids. It is 100% vegetable derived and 100% active. PELEMOL® 123 has a pronounced silicone-like, silky, emollient skin feel and leaves the skin soft and supple after washing with detergent. PELEMOL® 123 has also been demonstrated to enhance hair color when added to hair dyes at levels as low as 0.3% of the hair dye formulations. It contributes to hair volumizing and conditioning.

PELEMOL® EHEMP is a product of the ethyl esters of Hemp Seed Oil. It is an extremely dry ester with a slight initial silicone feel that becomes dry on rub-in. PELEMOL® EHEMP feels like cyclopentasiloxane, D5 and is an effective D5 substitute. The sensory perception is that it is gone, as is D5. PELEMOL® EHEMP is 100% active and 100% vegetable derived. It is not a blended product. As a dry ester, PELEMOL® EHEMP finds application in skin creams and lotions, and makeup products. Use levels can vary from 5 – 30%.
