Question
Posted on: August 1 2017Which alternative on the Belgian market is the best way to replace the DAC base?
I already found back at a previously asked question that the DAC base has following composition: Glycerol monostearate 4g; Cetyl alcohol 6g; Miglyol 7.5 g; White Vaseline 25.5 g; PEG-400 monostearate 7.5 g; Propylene glycol 10g; Water up to 100g.
Now I wondered which alternative on the Belgian market is best suited to this? What could be the best possible replacement?
Answer
Apparently is glycerol monostearate on the market (Bassron); for PEG-400-monostearate has never been on the Belgian market and for this only Cetomacrogol is available as an alternative. This modification will certainly affect the properties of the cream, which is considered amphiphile. But at Cetomacrogol the hydrophilic part (PEG-1000) is clearly heavier on the balance.
