Ethylhexyl StearateBarrier
A rich emollient ester that softens skin, adds cushioned slip, and helps disperse pigments.
What it does
Ethylhexyl stearate is an ester of stearic acid and a branched alcohol. It is an emollient that gives a soft, cushioned, lubricating feel, helps other oils spread, and wets and disperses pigments in tinted and sun-care products. It is a feel-and-dispersion ingredient rather than an active.
Also known as
octyl stearate
