About Stearoyl Lactylic Acid

Stearoyl Lactylic Acid is an ester of stearic acid and lactyl lactate.[1] The physical properties and sensory feel of finished products containing Stearoyl Lactylic Acid can vary depending on the concentration, the ingredients used with it, the formulation's acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
