Description

D-Glucitol Hexaisostearate is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emollient derived from sugar alcohol and branched-chain fatty acids. This specialty ester is valued for its excellent skin feel, emulsifying properties, and stability in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating premium skin creams, lotions, sunscreens, and color cosmetics.

Application

• Primary Emulsifier and Co-emulsifier in water-in-oil (W/O) and oil-in-water (O/W) cosmetic emulsions.
• Skin Feel Enhancer in facial creams, anti-aging serums, and body lotions, providing a rich, non-greasy emolliency.
• Stabilizing Agent for pigments and inorganic sunscreens (e.g., TiO2, ZnO) in sun care and makeup products.
• Base Ingredient in high-end decorative cosmetics like foundations, lipsticks, and mascaras.
• Pharmaceutical Ointment Base for topical drug delivery systems requiring enhanced skin penetration and stability.
• Hair Care Conditioner in shampoos and treatments, offering lubrication and shine without buildup.
