Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate

Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate is a synthetic ester derived from glycerin and isostearic acid. It functions as an emollient, providing a smooth feel and helping to prevent moisture loss from the skin. It also acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients in cosmetic formulations.
