Description
Glyceryl Isostearate is a soft emollient and emulsifier that is formed as a result of the reaction between glycerin and isostearic acid. It is added to cosmetics to soften the skin, improve the texture of the product, and stabilize emulsions (such as in creams and lotions). It creates a silky coating, reduces moisture loss, and makes the skin smoother. It is suitable for sensitive skin, as it has a low likelihood of causing irritation.
