Overview
Polyglyceryl-2 triisostearate sounds intimidating, but it is basically a mixture of glycerine molecules with isostearic acid, which is a fatty acid.
This chemical compound is an emollient - it has a visible smoothing effect by reducing appearance of flakiness. On top of that, it can be a formula helper as an emulsifier or a solvent.
