SY-DP Series

The SY-DP series is a line of ether polyols obtained by the addition of the polymerization of propylene oxide to diglycerin. The SY-DP series has lipophilic properties and an oily feel, owing to the addition of propylene oxide, but it also has moisture-retention and hydrophilic properties derived from diglycerin. The SY-DP series can be used in various types of cosmetics as a moisturizer that does not cause stickiness.

The SY-DP series improves the foaming and cleansing power of body and facial cleansers. The SY-DP series can be formulated in a water-based make-up remover, as it blends easily with make-up ingredients, to greatly improve removability. The SY-DP series also leaves skin fresh and well moisturized after cleansing.
Other applications The SY-DP series is an amphiphilic compound, so it can be used as a solubilizer or solvent of oil ingredients. Also, SY-DP series products are non-volatile.
