NK‑C6002 Soshenda – Non‑Irritating Penetration Enhancer for Maximised Active Delivery
A unique blend of bis‑ethoxydiglycol cyclohexane 1,4‑dicarboxylate, isopentyldiol, and dimethyl isosorbide – boosts absorption of actives, dissolves sebum, improves skin feel, and is proven non‑irritating.
Product Overview:
NK‑C6002 is a high‑performance, multifunctional solvent and penetration enhancer specifically designed for cosmetic and topical pharmaceutical formulations. It combines three complementary components:
-
Bis‑ethoxydiglycol cyclohexane 1,4‑dicarboxylate – a hydrophilic/lipophilic solvent that rapidly removes sebum and resin, reduces tackiness, and promotes keratin penetration.
-
Isopentyldiol – a moisturising, low‑irritation diol with skin‑friendly properties.
-
Dimethyl isosorbide – a high‑purity, water‑miscible, plant‑derived solvent that acts as an efficient carrier for both hydrophilic and lipophilic actives.
Together, they create a non‑irritating, fast‑absorbing delivery system that enhances the efficacy of a wide range of active ingredients.
| Benefit | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| ⚡ Enhanced active penetration | Promotes transdermal delivery of water‑soluble actives (e.g., salicylic acid, vitamins, resorcinols, peptides) through the stratum corneum |
| 🧴 Dissolves sebum & resins | Cleanses pores, removes excess oil, prepares skin for deeper absorption |
| ✨ Reduces tackiness & improves skin feel | Lowers the sticky after‑feel of many actives; leaves a light, silky touch |
| 🌡️ Wide liquid range | Remains fluid from -50°C to 200°C – stable in extreme climates and hot/cold processes |
| 💧 Miscible with water & many solvents | Soluble in water, glycols, esters, and oils – easy to formulate into all types of products |
| 🛡️ Proven non‑irritating | Does not cause skin irritation; suitable for sensitive skin and leave‑on products |
| 🔄 Versatile carrier | Can be used as a co‑solvent for difficult‑to‑dissolve actives (e.g., resveratrol, salicylic acid, vitamin C derivatives) |
