MORE INFO
Iscaguard DCG is a multifunctional additive that can be used to formulate “preservative free” products. Decylene glycol is a humectant and skin conditioning agent, providing excellent moisturisation, emollience and wetting properties to formulations. In addition, Iscaguard DCG can be used as a foam and viscosity booster for shampoo, shower gel and hand soap formulations. Iscaguard DCG has intrinsic anti-microbial properties, which reduces the reliance on traditional preservatives to create products with low irritation and sensitisation potential.
Iscaguard DCG is compatible with most commonly used personal care in-
gredients. It is particularly suitable for emulsions, oil and surfactant based formulations. It is advisable to pre-dissolve the product in a non-aqueous component prior to the addition of water (Iscaguard DCG shows good sol-
ubility in alcohols, glycols and mineral oils). Iscaguard DCG can be incorpo- rated into formulations at temperatures up to 900C, although prolonged heating is not recommended.
