Recognized as a food-grade ingredient in many markets, it is widely used as a solvent and carrier in food flavour formulations.

Occlusive agents like mineral oil, petrolatum and lanolin work by forming a physical barrier on the skin’s surface. This barrier is effective at reducing transdermal water loss. But the trade-offs are heavy after-feel, slow adsorption, tendency to trap heat and sebum and formulations that feel greasy or tacky, especially in warm, humid climates. Non-occlusive emollients like diisopropyl adipate spread into the skin rather than sitting on top of it. They soften and ...
