super purity Isostearic Acid KF 67 - cosmetic grade

High-purity isostearic acid can be used as an additive in personal care formulations or as a raw material for synthesizing cosmetic esters. Its key advantages lie in its excellent low-temperature flow properties and compatibility with a wide range of substances.

Its application can be categorized as follows:
1.Cosmetics and Personal Care application:
it enhances product texture (e.g., increasing smoothness, reducing greasiness) and is commonly used in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sunscreens. It also improves formulation stability by facilitating uniform mixing of oil and water phases, and serves as a solvent in makeup removers to aid in dissolving cosmetics.

2.ester synthesis application:
When used in ester synthesis, isostearic acid primarily undergoes esterification reactions with alcohols (such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, isopropanol, etc.) to form isostearic acid ester compounds. These esters, characterized by excellent compatibility, low irritation, and favorable skin feel/lubricity, serve as key ingredients in cosmetics, lubricants, industrial additives, and other fields.

The core advantage of this ester class stems from the branched structure of isostearic acid—compared to straight-chain fatty acid esters, it readily forms low-viscosity, low-freezing-point products while reducing “heaviness.” This makes it particularly suitable for applications demanding superior skin feel and low-temperature performance, such as cosmetics.
