Description

Isopropyl Linoleate is a high-purity ester derived from linoleic acid and isopropanol, valued for its excellent emollient and solvent properties. This compound is particularly significant for its ability to enhance skin feel, improve spreadability, and act as a carrier for active ingredients in various formulations. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-performance, non-greasy emollients and solubilizers.

Application

• As a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• As a solvent and carrier for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in topical drug delivery systems.
• As a lubricant and plasticizer in specialty industrial coatings and polymer applications.
• As a key ingredient in hair care formulations to impart shine and reduce frizz.
• As a base oil and additive in high-performance lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• As a penetration enhancer in cosmetic and transdermal formulations.
• In the synthesis of more complex esters and specialty chemicals for niche industrial uses.

Quality Control

Our Isopropyl Linoleate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (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 degradation. Keep away from strong alkalis and incompatible materials.
