About Methyl Isostearate

Methyl Isostearate is an ester of methanol and isostearic acid.[1] The moisturized feel and spreadability of finished products containing Methyl Isostearate may vary depending on the concentration and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
