Sorbitan Stearate performs several important functions to improve the texture, stability, and effectiveness of the product. This ingredient is derived from sorbitol (sugar alcohol) and stearic acid and is typically used as an emulsifier.
Why add Sorbitan Stearate to cosmetics:
1. Emulsifier: helps to mix oils and water into a stable emulsion, preventing separation of components.
2. Increased product stability: prevents product separation and extends shelf life. This means that cosmetic products remain effective and safe to use for a longer period of time.
3. Texture improvement: enhances the texture of cosmetic products, making them smoother and more pleasant to touch. It helps to ensure even application of the product on the skin or hair, increasing comfort during use.
4. Softening: provides softening of the skin, which is especially important for dry and sensitive skin.
