BGT™ DM
BGT™ DM is a high-performance diester derived from natural malic acid and uniquely structured isostearyl alcohol. This colorless to pale yellow liquid excels as a wetting agent and binder, making it an indispensable ingredient in color cosmetics and skincare products. Predominantly used in lipsticks, lip glosses, foundations, and pressed powders, BGT™ DM enhances the application experience by significantly improving spreadability and reducing feathering and bleeding. Its formulation compatibility with hydrocarbon and silicone oils, along with a low freeze point and superior oxidative stability, surpasses that of castor oil, providing a rich, cushiony emolliency without the typical oiliness. Ideal for manufacturers seeking to elevate product quality, BGT™ DM not only loads more pigments but also ensures a smoother, more even distribution of colorants, offering both enhanced performance and consumer satisfaction.
