- Moisturizer
We can consider different class: Ester, ether, fatty acid, fatty alcohol, hydrocarbons, and silicon, some of which are extracted or based on vegetal raw material while others are chemically produced.
But it is very important to take into consideration their proprieties such as:
- Polarity
- Volatility
- Viscosity
- Spreadability
- Peroxidation index
- Sensoriality profile
Isopar™ fluids for personal care products
Isopar™ fluids are high-purity, virtually odorless synthetic isoparaffinic fluids that can be used in personal care products. They are extensively used as viscosity-reducing agent for personal care products due to their compatibility with many non-polar ingredients and good spreadability properties. Isopar fluids are also recognized for their lack of color and narrow distillation range. These fluids may also be a cost-effective alternative to other isoalkanes with comparable performance.
