About
Isostearyl Erucate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Isostearyl erucate is an ester of branched isostearyl alcohol (a C18 branched-chain alcohol derived from isostearic acid) and erucic acid. It functions as a skin-conditioning agent and emollient. It is not restricted under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and has no GHS hazard classifications assigned. The branched chain structure reduces crystallinity, resulting in a liquid ester with excellent spreadability and a dry, non-greasy skin feel.
