Biochem/physiol Actions

Phytantriol (PT; 3,7,11,15- tetramethylhexadecane-1,2,3-triol) do not hydrolyze. It possesses good structural stability and higher purity over glycerylmonooleate (GMO) or GMO-based derivatives. It helps to retain moisture in the skin and serves as a penetration promoter, hence can be used in transdermal drug delivery.

General description

Phytantriol (3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecane-1,2,3-triol) is a lipid, that is mainly used in cosmetics.

The temperature−composition phase diagram of phytantriol/water mixtures is qualitatively similar to that of aqueous glycerol monooleate so its stability makes it an interesting alternative to exploit various applications of the cubic liquid crystalline phases.
