Novel mixed esters of dicarboxylic acids with monohydric fatty alcohols and propoxylated fatty alcohols show unexpected superior properties as pigment dispersants, especially for inorganic pigments used in foundations, make-ups, lipsticks and physical sunscreens. The compounds of the present invention show superior pigment wetting and dispersing properties, as demonstrated by their ability to form fluid, very high-solids dispersions, while exhibiting unusual emolliency and gloss formation. The novel compounds of this invention have the following structural formula: wherein R<SUB>1 </SUB>is has the structural formula: wherein: R<SUB>4 </SUB>is a saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic moiety containing from 4 to 24 carbon atoms; X is an integer from 3 to 30; R<SUB>2 </SUB>is a saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic moiety which contains from 4 to 40 carbon atoms; and R<SUB>3 </SUB>is a saturated or unsaturated, straight chain or branched chain aliphatic moiety containing from 12 to 24 carbon atoms. The preferred compounds are Octyldodecyl PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Dilinoleate and Isostearyl PPG-4 Butyloctyl Ether Dilinoleate.
