Information

Isocetyl Stearoyl Stearate is an ester formed from the combination of isocetyl alcohol and stearic acid. It is a soft, wax-like emollient that contributes to the texture, spreadability, and skin feel of cosmetic formulations. Known for its silky, non-greasy finish, it is used to create smooth, luxurious skincare and makeup products.

Where does it come from?

This ingredient is derived from natural fatty acids and alcohols that originate from plant oils, such as coconut or palm oil, which are then esterified. The result is a stable, skin-compatible emollient that mimics the skin’s natural lipids.

What are the benefits?

PROTECTING SOFTENING STABILIZING

What are the benefits?

  • Texture – provides a silky, non-greasy finish.
  • Protecting - locks in moisture and prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
  • Spreadability – allows products to glide evenly across the skin to enhances spreadability and consistency of emulsions.
  • Stability – stabilizes formulations and increases cream consistency.
  • Softens – softens and smooths the skin by reinforcing its lipid barrier.

How is it used in our products?

Isocetyl Stearoyl Stearate is used in HT Blush Glow and HT Shaping Contour from OLIVE ROSE. It is included in our makeup formulations as an emollient, thickener, and conditioning agent that contributes to product performance and sensory appeal. By forming a light, protective film on the skin, it maintains hydration while giving formulas a soft, smooth application.
