Emollients are more than sensory ingredients: the case of isostearyl isostearate.
In order to understand the skin benefits of emollient oil ingredients in topical skin moisturizers, one single highly popular in vivo method (corneometry), even when executed to perfection, does not suffice.

As a result, Isostearyl Isostearate turns out to be a highly functional moisturizer when several methodologies are used.
