Description

Glyceroltri-Isostearate is a fully esterified triglyceride derived from glycerol and isostearic acid. This compound serves as a versatile non-polar emollient and lubricant, valued for its excellent oxidative stability and skin compatibility. It is a key ingredient for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries seeking stable, non-greasy conditioning agents.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emollient: Used in creams, lotions, and sunscreens to provide a smooth, non-greasy skin feel and enhance spreadability.
• Hair Care Conditioning Agent: Imparts softness and manageability in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products.
• Makeup Formulations: Acts as a pigment dispersant and binder in lipsticks, foundations, and color cosmetics for improved texture and wear.
• Pharmaceutical Ointment Base: Serves as a lipophilic vehicle in topical drug delivery systems for enhanced skin penetration.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Employed in industrial and food-grade applications where a stable, non-toxic lubricant is required.
• Plasticizer & Processing Aid: Used in polymer processing to improve flexibility and mold release properties.
