Description

General description

The temperature−composition phase diagram of phytantriol/water mixtures is qualitatively similar to that of aqueous glycerol monooleate so its stability makes it an interesting alternative to exploit various applications of the cubic liquid crystalline phases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phytantriol is a majorly used ingredient in skin and hair based cosmetics. It is viscous and enhances penetration of amino acids and vitamin components of cosmetics. It is structurally stable than glyceryl monooleate (GMO). Phytantriol in combination with the polymer (F127) and a hydrotrope (propyleneglycol) is used in the preparation of cubosomes for protein or vaccine delivery.
