Isostearic Acid

Isostearic acid, also known as isooctadecanoic acid or 16-methylheptadecanoic acid, is a natural product that forms an important link in the production of cosmetic products. This substance is a specific type of fatty acid that is often used for its emulsifying properties and its ability to soften the skin. Its name derives from its structural similarity to stearic acid, but with an isomeric arrangement of the hydrocarbon chain that improves its stabilising properties and resistance to oxidation.

Isostearic acid is used in a respectable range of cosmetic products, including creams, balms, shampoos, cleansers, make-up and many others. In addition, it is also used in some food and pharmaceutical products. This acid also boasts in some evening creams or face masks, and it works well in moisturizing serums and other skin care products. Since it has the ability to blend well with oils, it is also often included in various body oils. In cosmetics, it is especially valued for its moisturizing and emollient properties. In addition to moisturizing the skin well, it is also known for its antioxidant properties. Its use is safe and is not associated with negative effects on human health.
