SierraEster TS

OVERVIEW

SierraEster TS is an ester derived from the reaction of tridecyl alcohol and stearic acid. This clear, light-yellow liquid is primarily utilized in cosmetics and personal care products as a texture-enhancer, thickening agent, and emollient, providing a velvety after-feel and quick absorption. Its emollient properties make it effective in skin conditioning, forming a thin film on the skin's surface to prevent moisture loss and protect against environmental irritants.
