Product Information

• Name: Bis(2-ethylhexyl) succinate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Bis(2-ethylhexyl) succinate is a surface active agent that can be used in devices to increase the hydration of skin. It is also used as a zirconium additive in manufacturing devices, such as hard disk drives, because it has the ability to reduce the surface tension of liquids, which makes it easier for fluids to flow. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) succinate is a hydrophobic substance and will not mix with water. It has been shown to have antifungal properties due to its ability to bind with lipids on fungal cell membranes and interfere with membrane permeability. The tetrapeptide found in bis(2-ethylhexyl) succinate is an amino acid sequence that consists of four amino acids, typically glycine and proline. This sequence has been shown to be effective for enhancing skin's appearance by increasing the viscosity of skin's outer layer.
