Polyglyceryl-2 triisostearate

Polyglyceryl-2 triisostearate (CAS 120486-24-0), sold under trade names including Neorex PGIS, Salacos 43V, and Cithrol PG23IS, is a polyglycerol ester of isostearic acid.

It is used as an emulsifier and texture modifier in cosmetic and industrial formulations. It enables stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems while contributing to skin feel and product consistency.

In color cosmetics, it functions as a primary emulsifier and dispersant in lipsticks, foundations, and pressed powders. It helps bind pigments uniformly and improves payoff for the end user.

Skincare formulators use it in anhydrous balms and oil-based serums where it modifies rheology. It delivers a non-greasy, moisturizing skin feel that is highly valued in premium personal care products.

In suncare products, it stabilizes UV filter dispersions and supports water-resistant film formation. Coatings and adhesive applications utilize it as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers.

This material is effective in specialty resin systems where high-performance dispersion is required. It is typically supplied as a viscous liquid or semi-solid at ambient temperature for easy handling.

It is available in cosmetic-grade quality, meeting the purity requirements expected for personal care raw material supply. Standard pack sizes range from drums to IBCs for various needs.

Bulk quantities are available for industrial procurement to ensure consistent supply chains. This versatile ester remains a staple for formulators seeking reliable emulsification and pigment wetting.
