This is a man-made helper ingredient made by combining glycerin (a natural moisturizer) with isostearic acid (a fatty acid). It works like a bridge between oil and water in cosmetic products.
It blends oil and water together so they stay mixed in creams and lotions, preventing them from separating into layers.
