Description

Isostearyl Erucate is a high-purity, synthetic ester derived from isostearyl alcohol and erucic acid, valued for its exceptional emolliency and skin-feel properties. This versatile ingredient acts as a non-greasy, fast-spreading emollient and solvent, offering superior oxidative stability and compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic oils and actives. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the personal care and cosmetics industries for creating premium skin care, sun care, and color cosmetic products that require a luxurious, silky texture.

Application

• Premium Skin Care Emollient: Used in anti-aging serums, moisturizers, and facial oils to impart a smooth, non-greasy, and velvety after-feel.
• Color Cosmetic Formulations: Serves as a solvent and texture enhancer in lipsticks, foundations, and mascaras, improving pigment dispersion and application smoothness.
• Sun Care and SPF Products: Functions as an efficient solvent for organic UV filters while contributing to a pleasant skin feel without tackiness.
• Hair Care Conditioners: Incorporated into conditioners and hair masks to provide lubrication and shine without weighing hair down.
• Makeup Removers and Cleansing Oils: Acts as a key component in biphasic makeup removers and cleansing oils for its effective solubilizing power and easy rinse-off.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Utilized as a penetration enhancer and emollient base in medicated creams and ointments.
