MORE INFO

Iscaguard DGP is a multi-functional ingredient for use in cosmetic preparations. Iscaguard DGP is a blend of glycolic emollients which are used to improve the skin and hair conditioning properties of a formulation. By minimising water loss from the skin, Iscaguard DGP imparts a soft, silky feel to end products. Additionally, due to its intrinsic antimicrobial properties, Iscaguard DGP can be used to create “self-preserving” formulations.

Iscaguard DGP is compatible with most commonly used personal care ingredients. Due to its low water solubility, it is advisable to pre-dissolve Iscaguard DGP into the non-aqueous phase prior to the addition of water.
Alternatively, the product may be added prior to any heating stage in order
to aid dissolution.
