Isostearyl Neopentanoate

Isostearyl Neopentanoate is a synthetic ester that acts as an emollient in cosmetic products. It provides a light, non-greasy feel on the skin, helping to soften and smooth its surface. This ingredient also aids in the even distribution of other ingredients and can improve the overall texture of a formulation.
