The details

Isopentyldiol is a synthetic solvent, humectant, and emollient. Humectants have the ability to attract and hold water while emollients create a thin film to prevent water from evaporating. This combination keeps your skin and hair soft and hydrated. Plus, isopentyldiol does not leave a sticky feeling behind. As a surfactant, isopentyldiol is a hydrotrope. Hydrotropes help surfactants (cleansing agents) dissolve into water. According to the manufacturer, using this ingredient with sorbitol boosts skin hydration and helps close cuticles of damaged hair. This ingredient is water-soluble.
