Protachem™ ISL
- CAS Number
- 127358-80-9
- INCI Name
- Isostearyl Linoleate
Protachem™ ISL (Isostearyl Linoleate) is a medium viscosity plant derived ester with bifunctional properties (emolliency and moisturization). It is an unusual emollient that combines the non-occlusive lubricity of a branched chain monoester with the full-bodied non-oily characteristics of a fatty acid ester. Protachem ISL is derived from Isostearyl alcohol and linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is required for maintenance of cutaneous barrier function. In insufficient amounts, skin becomes scaly, exhibits hyperproliferation and increased trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).
