- Benefits
iMol IPP is an excellent emollient which does not form oily film over the hair neither on the skin. This product can also be applied in hair masks and creams providing the benefit of a better distribution of the oiliness over hair strands, improving shine and combing. The saturated structure with low iodine value makes iMol IPP not darken or rancid, even during long storage Due to its good solubility, iMol IPP can be associated to other oily components, such as acid esters and fatty alcohols, oils and animal or vegetable fats, mineral oil and wax.
