Description
Arachidic Acid is a saturated fatty acid that is used in cosmetics as a thickener, emulsifier, and skin conditioner. It provides a thick, creamy texture to the product, improves the stability of emulsions, and helps evenly distribute active ingredients. In skin care products, Arachidic Acid also acts as a softening component, creating a protective film that reduces moisture loss. It is often used in creams, lotions, balms, and decorative cosmetics.
