ISOSTEARYL ERUCATE.

Valuable CAS 97259-85-3 / SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

Isostearyl Erucate is a versatile ester functioning as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It is designed to impart a smooth, non-greasy feel, enhance product spreadability, and support the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Summary

emollient skin conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an ester, Isostearyl Erucate works by creating a thin, protective film on the skin's surface. This film effectively conditions and softens the skin while simultaneously reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby helping to maintain optimal hydration and reinforce barrier integrity. Its molecular structure also contributes to improved product texture and glide.
