  • Applications

    Diisostearyl malate (CAS 81230-05-9) is widely used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and light solvent, providing slip and a smooth skin feel in creams, lotions, and makeup formulations. It is also used in perfumery as a fragrance solvent and carrier, helping dissolve and balance aroma ingredients. In polymers and coatings, it serves as a plasticizer and processing aid to impart flexibility to vinyl resins and related materials. It may be used as an additive in coatings and inks to improve processing and texture. In household products, it functions as a conditioning ingredient to enhance skin contact and spreadability in cleaners and surface care items. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
