Product Overview
Isosteareth-2 (CAS No. 52292-17-8) is a fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, a chemical addition product of polyethylene oxide and isostearyl alcohol. Its molecular formula is C₂₂H₄₆O₃, molecular weight 358.59884, density 0.9±0.1 g/cm³, and boiling point 451.9±20.0°C. It is commonly used in cosmetics, detergents, and other products. The polyoxyethylene segments in its chemical structure enhance hydrophilicity, while the isostearyl alcohol moiety provides stability and thickening properties.
NIKOO's ISOSTEARETH-2 (INCI: *Isosteareth-2*, CAS 52292-17-8) is a plant-sourced, non-ionic surfactant engineered for superior water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion stabilization and gentle cleansing. With ultra-low hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB 4.5–5.5), this amber viscous liquid delivers exceptional sensory properties and formulation resilience across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Compliant with global safety standards, it combines efficacy with regulatory rigor
