PEG-3 Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate

PEG-3 Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate is an emollient and surfactant commonly used in skincare formulations to improve skin feel and enhance the spreadability of products. It acts by creating a smooth and silky texture, which can help in reducing moisture loss by forming a protective layer on the skin. While it does not have direct active benefits for improving skin tone or firmness, it can make skin feel softer and more moisturized.
