Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate is a liquid triester of Trimethylolpropane and Isostearic acid. It is unique in its sensory and visual properties. PELEMOL® TMPIS has excellent cushion and play time; it is non-tacky, light, glossy on the skin, and improves the application of solid delivery systems such as lipsticks and make-up products.

Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate also exhibits wide range solubility properties, dissolving in silicones and esters. It has been found to gel in mixtures with 12-hydroxy stearic acid by merely stirring the 2 components with heat until they mutually dissolve and allowing the mixture to come to ambient temperatures.

Excellent properties make Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate an ester of choice for use in a broad range of cosmetic products such as lipsticks and lip products, make-up, skin creams and lotions, and massage oils.
