#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: Isoamyl laurate – an isoamyl ester (aka dermofeel® Sensolv)

by

I bet you thought isomer month was over, but wait – there’s more! Let’s meet isoamyl laurate today before meeting it in combination with isoamyl cocoate tomorrow! Formulator Sample Shop was kind enough to send me a sample of this awesome isoamyl ester, Isoamyl laurate, also known as dermofeel® Sensolv, a polar oil that works...

#alltheingredients: Isohexadecane – C16 hydrocarbon (light, non-greasy, silky feeling emollient)

by

It really feels like it’s isomer month there on the blog! Let’s take a look at a new-to-me hydrocarbon, Isohexadecane (C16), the isomer of hexadecane! But first, if you aren’t familiar with hydrocarbons, check out these posts found in the emollients section of the blog! These are long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms without...

#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...
