innollient™ SL is a soft wax mainly composed of vegetable fatty acids that are able to create hydrophilic pockets interacting with water molecules through hydrogen bonding. A structural characteristic of innollient™ SL is the use of saturated lipophilic acyl linear chains as capping groups in the estolide assemblage. This provides excellent film forming properties to innollient™ SL while reinforcing inter-molecular interactions. The main benefits provided by innollient™ SL are the film-forming action and a unique emollient capacity coupled to a significant improvement of the skin barrier function.
