Description

Isostearyl Linoleate is a high-purity, synthetic ester derived from isostearyl alcohol and linoleic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emollient properties, oxidative stability, and ability to enhance skin feel and texture in cosmetic formulations. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking superior skin conditioning agents.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, serums, and sun care products.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, hair masks, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve manageability.
• Lipstick & Lip Gloss: Provides a smooth, non-greasy texture and enhances pigment dispersion.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed as an excipient in ointments and creams to improve skin absorption and patient compliance.
• Color Cosmetics: Enhances the application and wear of foundations, primers, and makeup products.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a bio-based lubricant or mold release agent in specialized manufacturing processes.

Quality Control

Our Isostearyl Linoleate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and peroxide value are provided to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve stability and prevent rancidity.
