Sorbitan Stearate is an ester derived from sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) and stearic acid (a fatty acid). It is widely used in cosmetic and personal care products as an emulsifier, helping to mix oil and water components to create a stable formulation. Sorbitan Stearate is particularly valued for its ability to produce smooth, stable emulsions, making it a common ingredient in creams, lotions, makeup, and other skincare products.
In addition to its emulsifying properties, Sorbitan Stearate also acts as a surfactant, helping to reduce the surface tension between ingredients, which can improve the texture and spreadability of a product. It is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for use in formulations intended for sensitive or delicate skin types.
Sorbitan Stearate is often used in combination with other emulsifiers, like polysorbates, to enhance its effectiveness and provide long-lasting stability to emulsions. It contributes to a product's moisturizing properties by helping to retain moisture in the skin, leaving it soft and hydrated. Due to its versatility and mildness, Sorbitan Stearate is a popular choice in both natural and conventional cosmetic formulations.
