Glyceryl isostearate (CAS 66085-00-5), also known as glyceryl monoisostearate, is a monoglyceride ester used primarily as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic and industrial formulations.

Where is Glyceryl isostearate used?

• Personal care: emulsifier in anhydrous formulations such as lip products, color cosmetics and skin balms, improving texture and binding oil-phase ingredients
• Sunscreen and moisturizer manufacturing: stabilizes emulsions and enhances skin feel
• Industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids: boundary lubricant and anti-wear additive
• Coatings and adhesives: plasticizing emulsifier improving substrate wetting and film flexibility
• Its branched fatty acid structure resists crystallization.

Commercial specifications

• Cosmetic grades meet purity requirements aligned with international pharmacopeial standards
• Bulk supply in drums or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)
