Omnicare IT

Description

Omnicare IT is a high-performance, low-odour, water-soluble solvent known for its excellent solubility, stability, and mild nature. This clear, colourless liquid is widely used in personal care, industrial cleaning, and chemical formulations due to its ability to enhance dispersion, improve formulation stability, and act as a coupling agent.

Omnicare IT is commonly found in cosmetics, skincare, haircare, and household cleaning products, where it serves as a solubiliser, humectant, and emulsifier. Its low toxicity and environmentally friendly profile make it a safer and sustainable alternative to harsher solvents.

With its high compatibility with surfactants, active ingredients, and essential oils, Omnicare IT ensures superior performance in water-based and oil-based formulations. Whether used in personal care products, coatings, adhesives, or cleaning solutions, it delivers outstanding results while maintaining a mild, non-irritating profile.
