  • Applications

    Isostearyl laurate is a long-chain fatty ester widely used as a light, non-greasy emollient and a carrier for active ingredients, additives, and oils in cosmetics and personal care formulations; it also serves as a solvent or carrier for fragrance ingredients in perfumery and fragrance applications; in coatings, inks, and polymer formulations it is sometimes used as a plasticizer or processing aid to adjust rheology and gloss; in topical pharmaceutical products it is considered an inactive excipient and solubilizing vehicle for active ingredients; and it may be used as a slip or lubricating additive in industrial manufacturing formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
