Where is Dibutyl ethylhexanoyl glutamide used?

• Personal care: rheology modifier and emulsifier structuring non-aqueous systems and oil phases without conventional wax or polymer thickeners
• Cosmetics: gel-like textures in anhydrous products such as lip balms, sunscreen sticks and oil-based serums
• Color cosmetics: stabilises pigment dispersions in oil-continuous systems
• Coatings and sealants: modifies rheological profile of solvent-based systems to control sag resistance
• Adhesives: adjusts flow and open time in non-aqueous formulations
• It is supplied in cosmetic grade meeting INCI-listed ingredient standards.

Good to know: Cosmetic-grade specification meets INCI-listed ingredient standards; industrial-grade supply is available for coatings and adhesives where cosmetic compliance is not required.
