About Cholesteryl Stearate

Cholesteryl Stearate is the ester of cholesterol and stearic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, to create emulsion formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth.[2] It is also used to adjust the viscosity and flow of the formula.[2]
