			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><strong>Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI)</strong> is a high purity solvent and carrier which offers a safe, effective delivery enhancement mechanism for active ingredients in personal care products. Sunless tanners, facial and eye-zone treatments, skin serums, anti-acne formulations and make-up removers are just some of the products whose performance can be improved with the use of Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI) in formulation. In addition to improving performance, its use as an epidermal penetration enhancer can allow formulators to reduce the amount of actives required to achieve effects, resulting in reduced formulation costs, and lower skin irritation with aggressive active ingredients.</span></p>
<p>Active ingredients for skin care formulations are only as effective as the delivery system. The more efficient the delivery system, the more likely it is that the active ingredient will perform as intended. Consider all of the benefits made possible by <a href="http://www.bulkactives.com/dimethylisosobide.htm">Dimethyl Isosorbide</a> delivery enhancer, a safe carrier ingredient proven to place active ingredients where they are needed most on skin. A water-white liquid with excellent solvent properties,<a href="http://www.bulkactives.com/dimethylisosobide.htm">Dimethyl Isosorbide</a> offers formulators the option to boost the penetration of actives in the epidermis layer of skin, enabling targeted delivery for products such as self-tanners, anti-acne treatments and more.</p>
<p>Consumers of skin care products will notice the difference in products formulated with a delivery enhancement agent. Test results show that <a href="http://www.bulkactives.com/dimethylisosobide.htm">Dimethyl Isosorbide</a> contributes to fast color development of sunless tanner, with less streaking and longer lasting tan as compared with self-tanner products without the carrier ingredient. In other specialty products, such as eye-zone treatments, skin serums, scalp treatments, <a href="http://www.bulkactives.com/dimethylisosobide.htm">Dimethyl Isosorbide</a> may be used to enhance skin penetration. The unique solvency properties of <a href="http://www.bulkactives.com/dimethylisosobide.htm">Dimethyl Isosorbide</a> boosts performance of formulations such as make-up removers.</p>
<h4>The skin care formulators&#8217; performance booster</h4>
<p>Ask consumers why they use a skin care product and chances are good they will purchase one they perceive to be effective. Formulators can improve the odds that an active ingredient will work to the benefit of the consumer in products designed for skin treatment. With <a href="http://www.bulkactives.com/dimethylisosobide.htm">Dimethyl Isosorbide</a>, the formulator can enhance the delivery of active ingredients without having to add more active. Effective delivery of actives such as salicylic acid, Vitamin C, lactic acid, hydrocortisone and hyaluronic acid can even reduce the active ingredient concentration requirement, serving to reduce the formulation cost of finished products.</p>
<h4>Other benefits of <a href="http://www.bulkactives.com/dimethylisosobide.htm">Dimethyl Isosorbide</a>:</h4>
