Hydramol™ Esters
Hydramol™ esters are specialty emollients with distinctive solubility profiles that grant them uncommon performance attributes. They can deliver emolliency, lather and viscosity to cleansing systems. In creams and lotions they can provide emolliency before the emulsion even breaks, for luxurious aesthetics from application to afterfeel. When used in conjunction with heavy emollients like oils or hydrocarbons, they can mitigate the greasiness and improve washoff. And they can be used in crystal clear aqueous formulations to deliver an unexpected richness.
