Description

Isostearyl alcohol is a synthetic fatty alcohol that is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is a branched-chain alcohol with a molecular formula of C18H38O. Isostearyl alcohol is produced by the hydrogenation of isostearyl oleate, which is a fatty acid derived from vegetable oils. It is often used as an emollient, meaning it helps to soften and moisturize the skin. It is also used as a thickener, emulsifier, and lubricant. Isostearyl alcohol is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, but some people may experience irritation or allergic reactions. It is important to note that the safety of isostearyl alcohol has been questioned due to its potential for causing skin irritation. Research on isostearyl alcohol is ongoing to better understand its effects on the skin and to develop safer and more effective formulations.'
