DETAIL
Isostearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol or specialty alcohol that consists of 18 carbons in its molecular structure. It is also called isooctadecanol or isooctadecyl alcohol, and is derived from the reduction of isostearic acid.

Isostearyl Alcohol is an easy spreading, colorless liquid fatty alcohol. It is moisturizing and has a very light, silky, soft dry skin feel. It is ideally used for skin care applications and works well in sun care and color cosmetics with a low or high pH.

Mainly used in personal care and cosmetics, isostearyl alcohol is primarily used as an anti-aging agent in cosmetics. However, it also acts as a viscosity booster, emulsifier, and pigment binder.
