Several test formulations comparing ADF-oleile [ADF], a viscosity controlling agent, with other competing ingredients showed that it is the only effective fluidizing and dethixotropic agent for dermopharmaceutical and cosmetic emulsions. ADF-oleile is a water-soluble viscosity controller for liquid emulsions and it regulates the desired fluidity of the preparation because it increases the so-called time recovery rate allowing lotions to remain as such for a longer period. All data concerning the effectiveness tests (formulations, viscosity data, penetrometer data, ecc.) are presented and discussed.
