What Is It?

Dimethyl isosorbide is an ingredient that functions as a solvent and a carrier in various personal care products. In simple terms, think of it as a helpful vehicle in your skincare. It's a clear, mildly oily liquid that is derived from renewable corn sugar. Its purpose in a cosmetic formulation is not to directly affect the skin's appearance on its own, but rather to enhance the effectiveness of other beneficial ingredients in the product.

What are the benefits?

Dimethyl Isosorbide helps to dissolve certain active components, like vitamins or anti-aging compounds, ensuring they are well-dispersed within the formulation. Most importantly, it can improve the delivery of these beneficial substances into the skin. This means that instead of just sitting on the surface, those key ingredients are encouraged to penetrate deeper into the skin's upper layers, where they are intended to perform their functions. By aiding in this penetration, it can allow the active ingredients to work more efficiently.
