Product Overview

Triisostearin serves as a versatile and effective emollient in a wide range of cosmetic applications. As a triglyceride ester of isostearic acid, this liquid occlusive emollient is renowned for its excellent caring and non-migratory properties, making it a valuable addition to formulations. Its compatibility with other oils, fats, or silicones has established it as a fundamental component in personal care products. Notably, Triisostearin is oxidation-stable, highly polar, odorless, and possesses a viscous consistency, enhancing its utility in cosmetic preparations, particularly lip care, where its outstanding cushion, film-forming capabilities, and pleasing sensory qualities are desirable. In skin care, it is instrumental in improving viscosity, sensory properties, and softness, while minimizing stickiness for a light, non-greasy feel. Its high viscosity and excellent adhesion contribute to its effectiveness in decorative cosmetics, where it enhances pigment dispersion and solid carrying ability, imparting a rich texture and glossy appearance. Additionally, Triisostearin's eco-friendly, biodegradable nature, combined with its cold-processability and vegetable-derived origin, underlines its safety and environmental sustainability, broadening its application to self-tanning preparations, sun care, eye-toning, and color cosmetics.

Custom Q&A

What is Triisostearin and what are its primary properties?

Triisostearin is a triglyceride ester made from isostearic acid, known for being a liquid occlusive emollient. It has notable caring and non-migratory properties.
