Dimethyl Isosorbide
A penetration-enhancing solvent that dissolves hard-to-formulate ingredients and helps them spread.
What it does
Dimethyl isosorbide is a small, sugar-derived solvent. It dissolves ingredients that are otherwise hard to formulate and helps carry them into the upper skin layers, so it is used to improve the delivery and spread of other ingredients. It is a solvent-and-carrier ingredient rather than a skin active.
