About Potassium Behenate
Potassium behenate is the potassium salt of behenic acid.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary depending on the components forming the salt and the acidity of the formula, which also affects how it interacts with other raw materials. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
