  • Applications

    Glyceryl 2-isostearate (CAS 32057-14-0) is commonly used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care, providing slip and moisture to skin and hair. It also acts as a mild surfactant and a co-emulsifier, aiding dispersion and stabilizing emulsions in formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a lubricant and plasticizer for polymers and coatings, and can function as a solvent or processing aid in various formulation steps. Additionally, it can act as a fragrance carrier or solvent for fragrance materials in perfumery, and is used in some household cleaning products to improve texture and spreadability. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
