Isopropyl stearate is an ester of isopropyl alcohol with stearic acid (octadecenoic acid). Isopropyl stearate is used in cosmetic formulations. The ester acts as a binding agent (binds cosmetic preparations containing powders), emollient (makes the skin supple and smoothes it) and skin care product.
