Description
Stearic acid is a fatty acid that is widely used in cosmetic products for various purposes: 1. Thickener: adds consistency and texture to cosmetic products. 2. Emulsifier: helps to mix water and oil in cosmetic products. It helps to create stable emulsions that allow active ingredients to be distributed evenly and ensure their effective use. 3. Moisturizing and protection: has the ability to retain moisture in the skin, helping to improve its moisturizing. It can also function as a barrier to help protect the skin from moisture loss and negative external factors. 4. Preservative: can act as a preservative or antioxidant, helping to preserve the stability and shelf life of cosmetic products.
