What is DIISOSTEARYL MALATE used for?
Diisostearyl malate benefits stem from the fact that it works to condition the skin.
- Skin care: The alkyl chain length of this ester is C18, making it hydrophobic in nature, by virtue of which it can penetrate the skin better. It creates a thin layer over the skin’s surface and prevents loss of moisture. It provides a non-tacky feeling and is compatible with other hydrophobic solvents and oils
- Decorative Cosmetics: It has medium viscosity which makes it ideal for dispersing pigments. It is a good binder for pigmented products and works as an exceptional additive for providing sheen and gloss in makeup products like lipsticks and lip gloss.
