143-S
Lonzest 143-S is a unique, single chemical emollient designed as a direct replacement for
cosmetic esters derived from naturally based raw materials. The chemical and physical
properties of Lonzest 143-S are tailored to meet the exacting specifications for emollients in the
cosmetic industry. Lonzest 143-S has been judged to be non-comedogenic, thus providing an
additional benefit.
The cost/supply picture on emollients derived from natural raw materials is in a constant state of
flux. This is, to a large part, due to the availability of the fatty acids from which these emollients
are derived. Lonzest 143-S removes the instability aspect of emollient supply and cost. Being
based on domestically produced, readily available, FDA approved raw materials, Lonzest 143-S
is offered in large, consistent volumes at a stable, moderate price.
