DMI works as a skin-penetration enhancer for active ingredients, making them more effective at a lower concentration. It is safe, gentle, no known skin irritation. It is a safe and effective efficacy enhancer in skin care formulas without interrupting the skin barrier.

Our DMI is high in purity and gentle to the skin.

Key Benefits in Formulas:

In skincare formulas, DMI helps to improve formula stability and prolong the shelf life of the finished products. It is also commonly used to stabilize the active ingredients and prevent them from hydrolysis and transesterification. It enhances the water-soluble active ingredient's skin penetration ability. It can dissolve oil-soluble ingredients and make them more water-soluble for transparent water-based serums or gels.

It is soluble in various ingredients, such as water, vegetable oil, Polysorbate, IPM, and propylene glycol. However, it is insoluble in hydrogenated castor oil, silicone oil, mineral oil, and lanolin.
