About Hydroxystearic Acid

Hydroxystearic Acid is a fatty acid.[1] The physical properties and sensory feel of Hydroxystearic Acid in a finished product may vary depending on the concentration used, the ingredients used with it, the formula's acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, create an emulsified formula in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
