Iso stearic Acid is an exceptionally mild liquid fatty acid that offers a light lubricious feel and can be used in many skin care and colour cosmetic applications.
Iso stearic Acid also offers film forming properties, making it ideal for use in soaps, shaving foams and liquid cleansers.
Isostearic acid is a liquid fatty acid produced by the reaction of oleic acid with a natural mineral catalyst.
The production of isostearic acid is completely based on the parent oil or fat.
Due to its high thermal, odor, and oxidation stability, isostearic acid finds its application across several industries such as lubricants, personal care, chemical esters, textiles, and packaging.
The branched structure of isostearic acid elevates its dispersing power due to which it is used in industrial and cosmetic applications for the stabilization of pigments and mineral particles in oils and solvents.
ISOSTEARIC ACID (ISO OCTADECANOIC ACID )
Isostearic acid is a lightly-branched, liquid fatty acid produced by the reaction of oleic acid with a natural mineral catalyst – there is no chemical addition in this reaction, isostearic acid is based 100% on the parent oil or fat. Isostearic acid is used in applications which require a liquid fatty acid with exceptional stability: thermal stability in the case of a lubricant, odour stability for a cosmetic formulation, and oxidation stability for products with long shelf-life requirements. The branching structure of isostearic acid also enhances its dispersing power, and it is used in cosmetic and industrial applications for the stabilisation of pigments and mineral particles in oils and solvents.
Isostearic acid has a larger molecular area and a much lower collapse pressure than stearic acid

Isostearic Acid offers moisturising properties and a very light, silky, soft dry skin feel.
Excellent liquidity and oxidation stability makes Isostearic Acid perfect for use in skin care and colour cosmetics.
ISOSTEARIC ACID is our unique, highly branched, saturated fatty acid. It has some features that are transparent and odorless, unlike straight chain fatty acids.
Additionally, it has excellent heat stability, oxidation resistance, pigment dispensing ability, defoaming property and is compatible with various organic solvents.
The personal care industry is the major consumer of isostearic acid, where it is used as a binder and emulsifier.
Isostearic acid differs from other C18 fatty acids of the same category in a number of ways. While other C18 fatty acids are produced by splitting fats or oils, isostearic acid is manufactured as a coproductof a tightly controlled reaction to synthesize dimerized fatty acids. The structural makeup of isostearic acid also has a valuable combination of saturation and branching, when compared to other fatty acids like stearic acid and oleic acid.
This set of features make isostearic acid a versatile building block for high-value applications in synthetic lubricants, metal stamping and forming, coatings, and personal care products. Isostearic acid’s features impart thermal stability, oxidative stability, surface activity, lubricity, low color, and feel in multiple formulations. Isostearic acid is used as-is in some cases, but is also derivatized to form isostearyl alcohols, amides, and esters to further expand its reach across many industries and applications.

Vegetable oils and animal fats are important and established raw materials for the production of chemicals and ingredients.
From its origins more than 150 years ago, the oleochemical industry has grown in scale and diversity to become an important branch of the chemical industry.
With increasing emphasis on renewable and sustainable industrial practices, oleochemistry has gained a new momentum as a means to develop alternatives to fossil‐derived products.
This chapter reviews the role of catalysis and catalyst development in the production of isostearic acid, as an example of recent research in oleochemistry.
Starting with a brief history of the oleochemical industry, we trace the development of isostearic acid and other branched fatty acids.
The special properties of isostearic acid are illustrated through its use in applications inaccessible to standard fatty acids.
Finally, we present the latest developments in zeolite catalysis; the step change in yields and selectivities achieved by these new routes illustrates the potential that proper catalyst design can bring to open up significant new markets and applications for oleochemicals.
