Lexorez™ TL-8
Trimethylpentanediol/Adipic Acid Copolymer
Actives Delivery System
Lexorez™ TL-8 is a polymer system that aids in controlled delivery of actives. Specifically, it is used in sunless tanning products as a delivery system for DHA (dihydroxyacetone) and is also effective in other skincare products with cosmetic actives, including anti-aging products.
- For a controlled delivery of cosmetic actives
- Provides darker and longer lasting color in sunless tanning
- Compatible with antioxidants
- Improves cell renewal rate in AHA formulations
- Reduces irritation in AHA formulations
Applications:
sunless tanning | skincare | anti-aging | anti-acne | actives-driven formulations

The Science Behind
Lexorez™ TL-8 acts as a reservoir for actives by entrapping them within the polymer matrix.
- Solubilizes actives into Polymeric Liquid Reservoir which holds actives and slows their diffusion into the stratum corneum (SC)
- Low molecular weight facilitates uniform distribution of actives across the stratum corneum
- Diffusion of actives into the epidermis is gradual over an extended period of time and the active interaction with Epidermis/Dermis is prolonged
- Actives partition across the Reservoir/SC interface at a controlled rate (governed by Fick’s law of diffusion)
- Reduces irritation typically caused by some cosmetic actives
- Polymer structure prevents penetration of Lexorez™ TL-8 into SC
Primary Feedstocks
