Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate is an active alkoxylated di-ester, a water-dispersible, surfactant-soluble, silky emollient, detangler, and slip enhancer. It is also used as a solubilizer suitable for transparent formulations. Thanks to its mild, "hydroactive," and surfactant-friendly properties, it is used in many cleansing products, including body washes, liquid soaps, facial cleansers, bath oils, and shampoos.
Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate is suitable for a wide range of applications and confers a distinct, immediately perceptible emollience. It provides a velvety skin feel and is proven to detangle hair. It can be immensely beneficial in the formulation of baby shampoos, as it allows formulators a good means of keeping babies' delicate hair more snarl-free.
Research in the Cell Biology Lab by Dr. Laurie Joseph shows that 5% Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate can reduce the irritation potential of an SLES solution by as much as 40%. It is typically used at 1-5% in surfactant-based systems. It is approved for use in Europe.
In a blind performance test, Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate was rated the overwhelming choice by panelists who evaluated the wet and dry feel of a body wash containing the product. The company reports that its laboratory has found that the product can pre-solubilize Benzophenone-3 at concentrations up to 20-25%. It can also be used as a pre-solubilizer for hair dyes.
