Description

Stearyl alcohol is added to cosmetics for several reasons: Emulsifier: Stearyl alcohol helps to mix different components of cosmetics, including oils and water, thus stabilizing the product's texture. Softener: This substance provides skin softening and moisturizing, improving its elasticity and protecting it from irritation. Thickener: Stearyl alcohol can increase the viscosity of the product, giving it a more pleasant and convenient consistency. Stabilizer: It helps to maintain a uniform consistency of the product over a long period of time, preventing it from settling or separating components. Film former: Stearyl alcohol can create a thin film on the skin surface, which helps to retain moisture and protect from external influences.
