#alltheingredients: Isoamyl laurate and isoamyl cocoate – isoamyl esters, aka Naturderm IL, Gosulin IL

by

We met isoamyl laurate the other day – also known as dermofeel® sensolv – so let’s meet isoamyl cocoate, then take a look at the ingredient that might be called Naturderm IL or Gosulin IL. Isoamyl laurate only consists of the C12 fatty acid, lauric acid, while isoamyl cocoate has an array of fatty acids...

#alltheingredients: Isopropyl isostearate (IPIS) – an isopropyl ester

by

Isopropyl isostearate (IPIS) is an isopropyl ester related to isopropyl myristate (IPM), isopropyl palmitate (IPP), and isopropyl stearate (IPS). It’s a low viscosity, non-greasy, hydrophobic (water-hating), medium polarity, water white, odourless, and clear ester derived from isostearic acid. We use it as a skin conditioning and occlusive emollient that’s more water resistant than isopropyl myristate...

by

Over the last week, we’ve learned that the isopropyl esters are light, fast spreading, non-greasy, and silky, and they can be used with emulsified or anhydrous (without water) products. We met isopropyl myristate (IPM), then made a less greasy, lighter anhydrous whipped body butter with shea, then we met isopropyl palmitate (IPP), which you could use...
