Kollicream® grades are either comprised of esters of fatty acids (3 C, CP 15, DO, IPM), or of natural (OA), as well as naturally derived (OD) long-chain alcohols. Except for CP 15, which is provided in the form of waxy pellets, all other members of the Kollicream® family, as well as Kollisolv® MCT 70, are transparent, colorless liquids at room tempreature. The raw material base is coconut oil, and/or palm kernel oil. Kollicream® IPM is a clear, colorless, almost odorless oil of medium polarity. On account of its high spreading value, the product is suitable for the application in pharmaceutical skin care preparations such as low-fatting emulsions and skin oils. Kollicream® IPM has a good solubilizing capacity for lipid-soluble active agents; it can serve as a dermatological carrier. Kollicream IPM has fast spreadability with light and fresh feeling. Can be used as a solvent for lipophilic drugs and also enhances skin penetration.
