Answer
Dimethyl Isosorbide Availability and Alternative
Based on our search, Dimethyl Isosorbide does not appear to be available in our database.
However, Ethoxydiglycol (e.q. Transcutol) is available and can be used as an alternative solvent and carrier. It is effective for dissolving various substances, including Benzoyl Peroxide (BP), and helps enhance skin penetration. Ethoxydiglycol is soluble in water, ethanol, glycols (like propylene glycol, butylene glycol), and natural oils.
Please note the usage rate guidelines for Ethoxydiglycol (e.g., not more than 2.6% for leave-on products) and always check the latest regulations before use.
