Kuraray Co., Ltd.
Isopentyldiol (IPD) and squalane
Based on many years of experience, Kuraray markets isopentyldiol and synthetic squalane as ingredients for the cosmetics industry. As well as enhancing compatibility, isopentyldiol is used as a moisturizer and emollient. High-purity squalane from Kuraray is a substitute for squalane obtained from sharks so its use supports animal welfare.
