Biodegradable light emollient ester, acting as a thickener in rinse off systems

Schercemol™ LL ester is a highly natural PEG-free readily biodegradable ester that yields a light, velvety emolliency to numerous cosmetic formulations such as hand lotions, sunscreens, and lipsticks. It is based on alpha-hydroxy acid and is therefore recommended in skin renewal and cell regeneration applications. Because of its free hydroxyl group, Schercemol™ LL ester is dispersible in water, permitting its use in bath oil preparations. It is also soluble in alcohol and therefore of value in colognes and aftershaves. It is known to reduce the tackiness in roll-on antiperspirants In rinse off systems, Schercemol™ LL ester acts as a thickener in both sulfated and sulfate-free surfactant systems with good aesthetics, bringing sensorial benefits.
