General Description

CHEMKG DMI, the cosmetic-grade form of Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI), is a clear, odorless, water-soluble liquid used as a high-performance solvent and delivery enhancer in personal care formulations. Derived from renewable plant-based sorbitol, CHEMKG DMI improves the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of active ingredients in both aqueous and oil-based systems. Its excellent skin penetration properties make it a valuable carrier for delivering actives deep into the skin, enhancing the efficacy of cosmetic treatments. Due to its non-irritating, non-comedogenic profile, it is widely used in both leave-on and rinse-off skincare products.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

CHEMKG DMI is utilized in a variety of cosmetic and dermatological formulations, including:

  • Enhances the delivery of actives like retinol, niacinamide, and alpha arbutin.
  • Improves the penetration of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide into the pores.
  • Acts as a solubilizer and carrier to improve the dispersion and performance of UV filters.
  • Used to stabilize formulations and deliver conditioning agents to the scalp and hair shaft.
  • Helps evenly disperse volatile components and reduces tackiness.
    Cosmetic manufacturers purchase CHEMKG DMI in bulk to create high-efficacy products that require deep penetration, enhanced actives delivery, and formulation flexibility.

Hazards

While CHEMKG DMI is generally considered safe and non-toxic in cosmetic use, a few safety precautions should be noted:

  • Rare cases of skin or eye irritation may occur, especially in high concentrations or compromised skin.
  • Not intended for ingestion or inhalation; proper precautions should be taken during bulk handling.
  • Should be tested for stability with sensitive actives and emulsifiers to avoid formulation breakdown.

Storage & Stability

  • Store in a cool, dry place in tightly closed containers away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.
  • Chemically stable under normal storage and formulation conditions; maintains performance across a wide pH range.
    CHEMKG DMI is available for wholesale and large-scale manufacturing, offering formulators a powerful tool for creating high-performance, active-rich cosmetic products.

CAS Number: 5306-85-4

INCI: Dimethyl Isosorbide

Composition: CHEMKG DMI is composed of high-purity dimethyl isosorbide, a clear, odorless, and highly stable solvent derived from isosorbide. It is widely used in cosmetic and dermatological formulations to enhance the solubility and penetration of active ingredients.

Purity Grade: Cosmetic/Pharmaceutical Grade (Typically ≥ 99%)

Appearance: Clear, colorless, low-viscosity liquid

Solubility: Miscible with water, alcohols, glycols, and many organic solvents

Preservation: Preservative-free

Storage: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, protected from light and moisture

Raw Material Sources: Derived from glucose (corn or other plant starches) through catalytic hydrogenation and methylation processes

Manufacture: CHEMKG DMI is produced via chemical modification of isosorbide, which itself is synthesized from renewable plant-based glucose. The process involves methylation to achieve enhanced solvent properties and stability.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (plant-based but not genetically modified)
