innollient™ LO

Innollient™ LO, a liquid estolide primarily composed of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, designed to enhance cosmetic formulations. Its unique structure, enriched with a Guerbet derivative, has a high affinity for water molecules and offers superior fluidity and spreadability with a low-friction feel on the skin. It also provides excellent dispersing capabilities for pigments and inorganic UV filters. Innollient™ LO is an ideal natural alternative to silicone, combining exceptional sensory properties with long-lasting hydration, perfect for innovative skincare products.
