Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
Octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, also known as octyldecyl stearoyl stearate, is a lesser known but widely used ingredient in cosmetics. It is a synthetic ester formed by the reaction of stearic acid and the alcohol octyldodecanol. The result is a fatty substance that has excellent emulsifying properties, making it well suited for the manufacture of cosmetic products.
Octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate is included in many cosmetic products for the reason that it not only improves the texture and consistency of the product, but also enhances its moisturising effects. Products containing this ingredient are also more water resistant and their application is smoother and more pleasant. This ingredient is often found in moisturizers, make-up products, lipsticks, as well as nail polishes. In addition to its emulsifying properties, it also has the ability to soften the skin and give it a velvety finish, making it a popular ingredient in skin care products. It is therefore clear that this ester is a real treasure for the cosmetics industry.
