OTHER:
Soldoc TM 13 is an ester of tridecyl alcohol and trimellitic acid which
hydrates, nourishes and softens the skin providing a soft, velvety,
after-feel with long lasting emolliency. Soldoc TM 13 is compatible
with anionic, nonionic and cationic systems. Soldoc TM 13 can be
used as a substitute for castor oil in lipstick and lip gloss applications.
Do to its high refractive index (1.4850), Soldoc TM 13 will provide
high gloss on the lips. Soldoc TM 13 will reduce “sweating”, provide
long wear with high gloss and emolliency, will not oxidize and will
provide excellent wax solvency for lipstick products. Soldoc TM 13
has excellent pigment wetting properties and will allow dispersions of
up to 50% pigments (w/w) in lipstick and makeup applications.
Because of its highly substantive, rich, skin feel, Soldoc TM 13 is
ideal for use in skin creams and lotions. Soldoc TM 13 will improve
the spreading capacity of creams and will provide a velvety, soft feel
with excellent cushion at low use levels (1-3%).

Soldoc TM 13 will increase viscosity in emulsions without increasing
drag. For sun care applications, Soldoc TM 13 will form a waterproof film on the skin providing water repellency. Soldoc TM 13 will
increase the homogeneity of physical UV filters, thereby increasing
UV absorption and SPF. Soldoc TM 13 is compatible with most oil
phase ingredients but is insoluble in water. Soldoc TM 13 can be used
in water in oil and oil in water emulsions. Soldoc TM 13 has a flash
point of 270°C, a relative density of 0.965 (20°) gr/cm³ and a
