Dimethyl lsosorbide DMI

High-purity dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) is a very good solvent and carrier. Its main use in personal care products is to boost the performance of actives. Using this ingredient, the performance of your formulation will significantly upgrade.

Additionally, it serves as a very useful enhancer for the penetration of active compounds into the epidermis. This enables the concentration of actives to be reduced for purposes of cost-saving and skin tolerance.

Whether you are looking for a dimethyl isosorbide supplier, Baisifu is your best choice. Our dimethyl isosorbide for sale is non-comedogenic, light, and similar to oil emollients. It does not promote bacterial growth. Thus, making it a safe and effective ingredient for your hair and skincare formulations!

CAS Number: 5306-85-4

Appearance: Colorless Clear Liquid

Characteristic:

• Dimethyl lsosorbide (DMI) can dissolve in water in any proportion and can also dissolve in other polyols and esters, making it a highly valuable solvent.
• DMI has a wide liquid flow range (-50°C to 200°C) and can be easily formulated into various forms—liquid, emulsion, or solid.
• DMI has unique transdermal properties without causing any irritation.
• It is an excellent solvent and stabilizing liquid formulation for various active ingredients, such as salicylic acid, vitamins, and resorcinols.

Key Advantages

Increased active penetration. It enhances the active ingredients’ penetration in the epidermis. This allows a vivid view of deeper skin layers that could have been deprived of treatment.

Improved stability. This enhances the shelf life of active ingredients, especially those prone to hydrolysis and transesterification.

Versatile solubility. Dimethyl isosorbide is highly versatile for a number of formulations. It is soluble in water, organic solvents, and non-ionic surfactants.

Safety Profile

Dimethyl Isosorbide is safe for use on skin and hair. It is very well-tolerated. However, it is advisable to perform a patch test before full application of products with this ingredient.

Technical Specification

Suitable for Wide Range of Formulations

You can use Dimethyl Isosorbide in multiple formulations, such as:

• Sunless Tanning: Promotes DHA penetration to provide even skin coverage. This reduces streaking and odor, leading to better tan results.
• Facial/Eye-Zone Treatments: It delivers peptides and antioxidants into the delicate skin layers. Selective delivery maximizes anti-aging effects while minimizing irritation in sensitive eye and facial products.
• Skin Serums: It stabilizes Vitamin C and carries Hyaluronic Acid, which helps fortify hydration, brightness, and overall serum activity.
• Anti-Acne Solutions: It facilitates the penetration of Salicylic Acid into pores, enabling the treatment of acne effectively with less irritation.
• Makeup Removers: It readily dissolves waterproof makeup and heavy pigment. This gentle action maintains the skin barrier efficiently.

Recommended Concentration

The concentration of DMI is critical for the effectiveness of any formulation. Lower concentrations generally in the range of about 1-3% work well with gentler active ingredients requiring gentle stimulation. In such concentration, stability is maximized, while activity is naturally enhanced.

Higher concentrations of about 5-10% may suit the stronger or more insoluble actives. Such concentrations promote penetration and therefore impart performance consistency to challenging cosmetic formulations. They also allow the actives that are difficult to work with to give the desired level of consistency in results.

Storage and Handling Guidelines

Proper storage and handling procedures are required to maintain ingredient quality. DMI is usually stored in tightly sealed containers and kept in cool and dry areas. Direct protection from heat and moisture, as well as protection from direct sunlight, ensures consistent long-term stability.

Being flammable and having a very high flash point of 116°C, it must be handled with good ventilation free of any open flame. In this manner, the safety of the product is guaranteed and risk is eliminated.

Handling precautions also include the use of personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety goggles. In the event of a spill, one of the safest methods for cleanup is the use of non-flammable absorbents. Such measures enhance worker safety as well as guarantee product reliability.

Certifications

Certifications ensure quality and compliance, thus helping to create trust in the supplied material. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has assessed Dimethyl Isosorbide for safe use in cosmetic formulations. Such regulatory acceptance further enhances its assurance in the global marketplace.

Some grades of DMI also conform to the requirements of USP-NF for purity, strength, and identity. These pharmacopeial requirements authenticate that the ingredient is consistent and of dependable quality. Baisifu backs this up with complete batch documentation, including Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets.
