Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
Ethylhexyl Stearate, also known as Octyl Stearate, is an ester combination of stearic acid and 2-Ethylhexyl alcohol. It is one of the most common ingredients in many personal care and cosmetic products. Although it is essentially a fat that produces a smooth and soft surface on the skin, you don't have to worry about it contributing to your body fat. It is an important ingredient that helps to create a smooth and comfortable feeling on the skin after using cosmetic products.
Octyl Stearate is primarily used as an emollient and lubricant, which means it is gentle on the skin and protects it from drying out. In addition, this substance improves the distribution of the product on the skin and enhances its absorption. In cosmetics, Octyl Stearate is very popular in a wide range of products - from makeup, skin and body creams, shampoos, sunscreens to hair care and deodorants. It is also used in soaps and cleaning products. It also has a role in industry, for example as an ingredient in some plastics or dyes. Thanks to its properties, Ethylhexyl Stearate is an important ingredient in many of the products we use every day.
