Description

Hydroxyethyl Isostearyloxy Isopropanolamine is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from isostearyl alcohol. This specialty chemical is valued for its excellent emulsifying properties, skin compatibility, and stability in a wide range of formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care and cosmetics industries for creating stable, luxurious-feeling emulsions and for its conditioning effects.

Application

• Primary Emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products for stable oil-in-water (O/W) systems.
• Skin Conditioning Agent in facial treatments, body butters, and moisturizers to impart a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Viscosity Modifier and stabilizer in liquid make-up foundations and color cosmetic emulsions.
• Co-emulsifier in complex formulations requiring enhanced texture and long-term shelf stability.
• Hair Care Formulations as a conditioning agent in rinses, masks, and styling products.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals for emulsifying active ingredients in medicated creams and ointments.
