Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI). Ideal for blending active ingredients and enhancing product absorption, DMI is a high-purity, renewable, and sustainable solvent and penetration enhancer that helps your favorite active ingredients (like Vitamin C, Retinol, and Peptides) reach deeper into the skin. It acts as a "carrier," maximizing efficacy while allowing for a more stable and less irritating formula.
Features:
Boosts Efficacy: Enhances delivery of actives like Vitamin C, Retinol, and Peptides
Solvent & Carrier: Improves stability and prevents degradation
Lightweight Texture: Non-greasy, reduces tackiness in formulations
Sustainable: Derived from renewable corn sugar
Safety: Non-irritating and non-comedogenic
Solubility: Excellent water and organic solvent solubility
Key Benefits:
Superior Penetration Enhancement: Dramatically improves the delivery of antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients into the epidermis.
Boosts Efficacy: Allows active ingredients to work better, meaning you can achieve better results with lower concentrations.
Stabilizes Sensitive Actives: Helps prevent the degradation of unstable ingredients like Vitamin C, ensuring your products stay effective longer.
Improves Texture: Provides a lightweight, non-greasy, and smooth, spreadable feel to serums and creams.
Safe & Gentle: Non-irritating to skin and eyes, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
Sustainably Derived: A 100% pure ingredient derived from renewable corn sugar.
How it Works:
Unlike many alcohols or solvents that disrupt the skin barrier, DMI acts as a, safe, and effective delivery system by increasing the polarity of the skin’s surface layers, allowing actives to penetrate more effectively without causing irritation.
