About Abietic Acid

Abietic Acid is an organic compound derived from wood rosin.[1] Its properties and feel in the finished product may vary depending on the concentration, the ingredients used with it, the formulation's acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to help keep emulsions of water and oil from separating easily and to reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
