Schercemol™ Esters

New Schercemol™ CATC Ester offering the comfort and substantivity of a heavy ester together with the slip and reduced tack of a light ester.

The family of Schercemol™ esters offers a breadth of formulating freedom from which the mood and essence of countless compositions may be drawn. For skin care, color cosmetics and hair care applications, Schercemol esters are valued for their moisturizing, lubricating, protecting, conditioning and softening properties. When the right Schercemol esters are selected for a particular application, the finished product stands out to consumers as distinctive and memorable.

Whether you are looking for heavy, medium or light emolliency, there is a Schercemol ester to deliver your target performance. The Heavy esters bring rich, luxurious skin feel in skin care and color cosmetics, as well as long wear, pigment wetting, gloss, cushion and water resistance. Explore the Light esters for non-greasy emolliency in light creams and facial applications or solvency for makeup removers. The Medium esters display some benefits of both the Heavies and the Lights, and allow for a seamless transition between them during rubout.
