USES:
WILFARESTER 2-EHP is an ingredient that is used to improve the texture, feel, and the scent of skincare and cosmetic products.
WILFARESTER 2-EHP functions as an emollient, solvent, and fragrance fixative.
In cosmetics and skincare products, WILFARESTER 2-EHP functions as an emollient, solvent, and fragrance fixative.
As an emollient, WILFARESTER 2-EHP helps to keep the skin moist and supple by reducing water loss from the top layers of the skin.
WILFARESTER 2-EHP also acts as lubricants by reducing friction when anything rubs against the skin.
WILFARESTER 2-EHP is considered to be a non-occlusive emollient, which means it does not form a film on the surface of the skin.
WILFARESTER 2-EHP is often used as an organic replacement to silicones in a cosmetic formulation because it provides a dry-slip, silky feel that is very similar to how a silicone would feel.
While all skin types can benefit from emollients like WILFARESTER 2-EHP, emollients are very beneficial for those who have dry, rough, and/or flaky skin.
WILFARESTER 2-EHP can treat these symptoms, leaving the skin looking and feeling soft and smooth.
In addition, emollients may be suitable for those that suffer from conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or other inflammatory skin conditions.
WILFARESTER 2-EHP functions as a solvent by helping other ingredients dissolve.
Solvents can also increase the efficacy of active ingredients in a formulation by enhancing their absorption through the skin.
Another function of WILFARESTER 2-EHP in cosmetics is as a pigment wetting agent.
Wetting agents work by reducing the interfacial tension between two different types of ingredients in a cosmetic formulation.
Wetting agents are useful in makeup as they improve the pigment or color distribution in the formulation.
Think about even eyeshadow or foundation pigment.
Lastly, WILFARESTER 2-EHP functions as a fragrance fixative in cosmetics and skincare products.
