About Arachidic Acid

Arachidic Acid is a fatty acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and reduce light transmission so the contents appear less translucent.[2] It is also used to reduce surface tension, helping raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
