About Sodium Hydroxystearate

Sodium Hydroxystearate is the sodium salt of hydroxystearic acid.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary according to 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]
