Description

Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) 99.9% is a high-purity, colorless, and highly polar liquid with exceptional solvent properties. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care formulations as a carrier solvent, penetration enhancer, and polar co-solvent. DMSO is known for its ability to penetrate biological membranes, making it effective for delivering active ingredients deeper into the skin or other substrates.

Due to its high solubilizing power, DMSO is compatible with a broad range of organic and inorganic compounds. It is valued in research, topical formulations, and advanced cosmetic applications for improving ingredient absorption, solubility, and bioavailability.
