DIMETHYL ISORSOBIDE

Description

Dimethyl Isosorbide:

Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI) is a solvent derived from isosorbide, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol. It is used in various cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care products as a penetration enhancer, solvent, and carrier for active ingredients. Dimethyl Isosorbide is well-regarded for its ability to dissolve ingredients that are poorly soluble in water and its capacity to enhance the absorption of these ingredients through the skin.

Benefits of Dimethyl Isosorbide:

1. Penetration Enhancer: Increases the effectiveness of active ingredients by improving their absorption into the skin.
2. Solvent: Effectively dissolves oil-soluble and other difficult-to-dissolve ingredients, ensuring consistent formulation.
3. Improves Product Performance: Helps to stabilize and improve the texture of formulations, making them smoother and more pleasant to apply.
4. Non-Irritating: It is generally mild and non-irritating, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
5. Moisturizing: Acts as a humectant to draw moisture into the skin, improving hydration.
