Propylene Glycol Isostearate is a clear, odor-free liquid. It is a non-ionic emollient derived from isostearic acid that improves skin elasticity in facial and body care formulations, particularly anti-aging formulas and shaving preparations.

Propylene Glycol Isostearate provides excellent substantivity, spreading, and lubricating properties that enhance skin coverage and promote slip. Tests have shown that it can help increase the SPF of solid UV filters in sunscreen emulsions.

In addition, Propylene Glycol Isostearate is highly substantive and offers moisturization benefits through its skin re-fatting properties.

Glyceryl Isostearate is a safe and eco-friendly ingredient. It is cold-processable, vegetable-derived, and biodegradable. It is used in anti-aging creams, sun care, shaving products, and face and body care applications.
