Glyceryl Isostearate is a glycerin monoisostearate ester, a highly substantive, rich, liquid emollient derived from isostearic acid. It offers low HLB emulsifying properties and provides soft conditioning, good moisturization, and excellent spreading in liquid personal wash applications.

Glyceryl Isostearate also provides moisturizing properties that make it ideal for AP/DEO and rich hand and body creams. It has been shown to promote film formation in skin care applications. Thanks to its pigment-dispersing properties, Glyceryl Isostearate is used in decorative cosmetics.

Glyceryl Isostearate is a safe and eco-friendly ingredient. It is cold-processable, vegetable-derived, and biodegradable. It is used in moisturizers, creams, and other facial and body care products.
