"Glycol" means a dihydric alcohol (glycol) as the alcoholic component of this ingredient (here neopentyl glycol). Isostearates are esters of isostearic acid. Neopentyl glycol diisostearate is used in cosmetic formulations. The glycol ester acts as emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together) and as skin care product.
