Cremes, make-up, hair-care and sun-care products have to meet high demands: we expect them to make us look fresh and attractive, act as moisturizers and, of course, feel pleasant on our skin. Isopentyldiol (IPD) from Kuraray is a multifunctional ingredient that ticks all the boxes! Your cosmetic, hair-care and skin-careformulations can benefit from the unique properties of IPD.
Isopentyldiol (3-methyl-1,3-butandiol) is colorless and odorless. Moreover, it can be combined with many substances, so it is ideal as an emulsifier and emollient in skin-care and sun-care products — and it does not leave white residues. IPD acts as an immediate moisturizer, so personal care products containing IPD make our skin feel silky smooth. IPD also ensures lasting gloss in decorative cosmetics such as lipstick and eye shadow.
IPD in hair-care products can help with hair strengthening, better hair settling and can repair damaged hair. IPD is a great alternative to silicons as hair will be shinier, healthier and easier to comb. In addition, they improve the color retention of dyed hair. Isopentyldiol enhances the tolerability of products because it has a very good safety profile and bacteriostatic properties. It is also used to enhance the skin-care properties of hand sanitizers and make-up removers.
Use isopentyldiol from Kuraray to make sure your cosmetics and personal care products feel pleasant on the skin as well as having excellent properties and optimum gloss.
