Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI) is a high-purity solvent and penetration enhancer commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. It offers excellent solvent properties for a variety of active and functional ingredients.It improves shelf stability of active ingredients, including actives susceptible to hydrolysis and transesterification.
Its use as an epidermal penetration enhancer may allow formulators to reduce the amount of actives required to achieve effects, resulting in reduced formulation costs, and lower skin irritation with aggressive active ingredients.
