Bis-Ethoxydiglycol Cyclohexane 1,4-Dicarboxylate is a multifunctional cosmetic delivery solvent for penetration-enhancement, skin/hair active delivery, sensory improvement and cleansing-performance support.

It is especially useful when a formula contains water-soluble actives that need better contact with skin surface layers or hair fiber, or when a high-polyol system feels sticky and needs a cleaner, smoother after-feel.

In skin care, it supports moisturized skin feel through good skin affinity. In hair and cleansing systems, it helps improve active distribution, cleansing efficiency and rinse aesthetics while also reducing greasiness or drag from oils.

Product Description: Bis-Ethoxydiglycol Cyclohexane 1,4-Dicarboxylate can be used as a delivery co-solvent, penetration enhancer, sensory modifier and cleansing booster. The ingredient is designed to improve the interaction between water-soluble actives, the cosmetic vehicle and biological surfaces such as stratum corneum or hair fiber. It is not used as a primary preservative or emulsifier; its value is in active delivery, feel correction and performance enhancement.

Usage: Suitable for facial serums, hydrating creams, lotions, barrier-care products, scalp serums, hair treatments, shampoos, facial cleansers, personal cleansers and oil-based or high-polyol systems that need improved feel.

Mixing method:

- Add during cool-down or final adjustment when possible. Keep processing below 45°C unless the full formula has been stability-tested at higher temperature.

- For water-soluble actives, pre-mix with the water/glycol portion before final addition. For hair and cleansing systems, add after the main surfactant blend is uniform and mix gently to avoid excess foam.

- For oily systems or tacky humectant systems, pre-blend with the polyol/oil portion, then add to the emulsion or serum base and check clarity, viscosity and odor after 24-48 hours.

- Verify compatibility with electrolytes, polymers, high surfactant loading, fragrance, colorants and final packaging by stability testing.

Usage rate: 0.5-5% of the finished formula. Typical starting point: 1-2%. Use the lower end for sensory adjustment and the higher end only when active-delivery or cleansing-performance testing supports it.

Product characteristics: Colorless to pale yellow liquid.

Solubility: Compatible with water/glycol systems, hydroalcoholic systems, surfactant systems, emulsions and oil/ester systems depending on the full formula. Pre-mix with the closest compatible phase before final addition.

Storage: Store tightly closed at room temperature, protected from excessive heat and direct light.
