Croda Arlasolve DMI is a dimethyl-isosorbide solubiliser intended to support skin-care active delivery. Its technical overview describes use with dihydroxyacetone and benzoyl peroxide in cosmetic formulations. Croda also reports reduced irritation potential for benzoyl peroxide in the studied formulations. This does not establish a general safety claim or permission to reduce active dosage. The full brochure and current grade documentation remain necessary for qualification.

Grade-specific screening values have not been recorded. Consult the selected supplier’s technical reference.
