Description
Diisostearyl malate (CAS 67763-18-2, EC 267-041-6) is a diester derived from malic acid and isostearyl alcohol, belonging to the oils, fats and waxes category. It carries no assigned E-code and is identified in regulatory databases under EINECS 267-041-6. The molecular formula is C40H78O5.
In personal care formulations, diisostearyl malate functions as a film-forming emollient and plasticizer in lip products such as lipsticks and glosses, where it reduces brittleness in wax matrices while improving adhesion to the lip surface. It also acts as a humectant in skin-conditioning preparations, helping to retain moisture by forming a flexible, occlusive layer on the skin.
This material is supplied in compliance with REACH regulations and is available for procurement across European markets. Sourcing enquiries should confirm grade suitability for cosmetic applications under EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009. Packaging formats vary by supplier and order volume.
