    Information

    Isostearic acid is a branched-chain fatty acid used in skincare as an emollient, emulsifier, and texturing agent. Its unique structure gives it excellent stability and skin compatibility, making it a valuable ingredient in skincare formulations.

    Where does it come from?

    Isostearic acid is naturally sourced from plant-based oils, such as rapeseed oil, and modified into a branched form. This contributes to its spreadability and resistance to oxidation, while still deriving from natural sources.

    What are the benefits?

    SMOOTHING MOSITURIZING NON-COMEDOGENIC

    What are the benefits?

    • Emollient properties: Softens and smooths the skin.
    • Texture: Contributes to a silky, non-greasy feel in creams.
    • Stabilizes formulations: Maintains consistency in emulsions.
    • Non-comedogenic: Moisturizes without clogging pores.
    • Oxidation-resistant: Offers better shelf stability than straight-chain fatty acids.

    How is it used in our products?

    Isostearic acid is used in F91 Corrective Cleansing Balm from OLIVEDA. It is included for its skin-conditioning and emollient properties and contributes to the product's texture while forming stable emulsions. Its ability to deliver moisture without heaviness makes it ideal for our Balm, for both dehydrated and oily skin types, as it provides a smooth application and a pleasant, long-lasting skin feel.
