Kollicream® OA

BASF's Kollicream ® emollients and penetration enhancers deliver exceptional performance for a wide variety of applications. Primarily known for their skin softening and smoothing properties, these emollients can also be used to greatly improve the penetration of APIs into the skin and adjust the consistency and appearance of creams and lotions. The Kollicream portfolio includes excipients that feel like cosmetics on the skin, are mild resulting in formulations with minimal irritation, and can help achieve easy-to-apply products for large application areas.

Kollicream ® OA (oleyl alcohol) is an emollient with medium spreadability for use in all topical dosage forms. Supplied as a weak polar liquid, this emollient can also act as a solvent for lipophilic drugs and improve skin penetration.
