ALUMINUM ISOSTEARYL GLYCERYL PHOSPHATE.

Valuable / VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

An anionic surfactant and viscosity-controlling agent, it enhances the stability and texture of oil-in-water emulsions. It promotes uniform ingredient dispersion, crucial for consistent formula performance.

Summary

Surfactant Emulsifying Viscosity Controlling

Science

Mechanism of Action

This molecule stabilizes the oil-in-water interface by lowering surface tension, due to its hydrophobic isostearyl chain and hydrophilic glyceryl phosphate head. Aluminum ions contribute to its stability, influencing formula consistency through rheological control.
