Properties

Provides excellent water-repellent emolliency with light, non-occlusive spreadability.

Chemical
Ethylhexyl Stearate (ERCAREL OS)

Low-viscosity spreading ester derived from stearic acid and ethylhexanol.

Properties

Imparts a silky, smooth skin feel and prevents transepidermal dryness.

Chemical
Isohexadecane

High-purity branched paraffin hydrocarbon solvent and emollient.

Properties

Provides high volatility, silky glide, and leaves zero residual shine or greasy film.

Chemical
Isopropyl Myristate (IPM / Cremer IPM / Imex IPM 98)

Classic fast-spreading synthetic fatty acid ester.

Properties

Imparts a dry, feather-light skin feel, enhances penetration, and reduces greasiness in formulas.
