Triisostearyl citrate refers to a citric acid - isostearyl triester which is used in cosmetic formulations. The isostearyl alcohol (iso-1-octadecanol) is the alcoholic component of the triester. Citrate refers to salts/esters of citric acid.

The ester compound acts as a skin care agent (keeps the skin in a good condition) and as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple).
