  • Applications

    Isostearyl ferulate (CAS 675584-24-4) is the ferulic acid ester of isostearyl alcohol. It is commonly used as an emollient and antioxidant in cosmetics and personal care formulations, helping soften the skin and stabilize lipid components. Owing to its antioxidant and potential UV-stabilizing properties, it is sometimes used as a stabilizer and processing additive in coatings and polymer systems. The ferulic moiety also supports use as a fragrance-related ingredient or intermediate in perfumery, and the material may be evaluated as a specialty additive in other industrial applications, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
