Overview of Isostearyl Alcohol
Isostearyl Alcohol is a branched-chain fatty alcohol widely used as an emollient, thickener, and co-emulsifier in cosmetic, personal care, and skincare formulations. It provides excellent skin feel, smooth texture, and enhances the stability of oil-in-water emulsions.
In formulations, Isostearyl Alcohol is often combined with Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to improve product consistency, spreadability, and moisturising properties. ChemicalBull supplies high-quality Isostearyl Alcohol suitable for creams, lotions, hair care products, and speciality personal care applications.
