Glyceryl Isostearate is a high-purity monoester of glycerin and isostearic acid, valued for its exceptional emollient properties. Unlike linear esters, its branched structure provides a unique, velvety skin feel without a greasy residue.

This material functions as a superior W/O (Water-in-Oil) emulsifier, making it ideal for formulating luxury night creams and sunscreens. It enhances the dispersion of pigments in color cosmetics, ensuring even application and long wear.

The product remains liquid at room temperature, facilitating ease of processing in cold-mix formulations. It is highly compatible with diverse botanical oils and synthetic silicones, offering great formulation flexibility.

  • Skincare Emulsions: Provides deep moisturization and a protective barrier in facial lotions and body creams.
  • Color Cosmetics: Used in foundations and lipsticks to improve pigment wetting and prevent product cracking.
  • Sun Care: Enhances the spreadability of UV filters and improves the water resistance of sunscreen formulations.

Non-hazardous; however, avoid direct eye contact. Use Protective Gloves and Goggles when handling bulk raw materials.
