SOLUBILITY
• Kopcotrizinol is very soluble in cosmetic oils.
• As the Kopcotrizinol is miscible with many cosmetic oils, it can readily be incorporated in the oily phase of
emulsions. Because of its hydrophobic nature and its solubility in oil, it is particularly suitable for waterrepellent
and water-resistant formulations.
• Kopcotrizinol can be used in combination with other Organic and Inorganic UV filters.
