Abstract
- “Isostearic acids” (IA) are branched-chain fatty acids that are nontoxic and biodegradable in nature. They are predominantly used in cosmetics because of their superior moisturizing properties as they are odorless, provide smooth spreading and a non-tacky feeling when applied onto skin. They can also be used in applications which require excellent thermo-stability and low flow temperature properties. The existing older technology produces IA at low yields, which limits their commercial adoption; thus, new technologies for preparing IA are needed.
