Key Features & Technical Benefits

  • Skin & Microbiome Safety: In vivo microbiome studies confirm no change in the diversity of natural skin residents, ensuring the skin’s ecosystem is respected.

  • Hydration Performance: When combined 1:1 with caprylyl glycol, it demonstrates hydration levels comparable to glycerin solutions.

  • Aesthetic & Sensory Improver: in cream formulations, it significantly improves shine and smoothness while reducing oiliness and the unwanted “whitening effect” during application.

  • Fragrance Solubilizer: Enhances the solubility of fragrance oils in aqueous or ethanolic solutions in a concentration-dependent manner.

  • Product Protection: Functions as a broad-spectrum protection enhancer, particularly effective when paired with partners like potassium sorbate.
