It is used as a gelling agent for solid products such as stick-style sunscreens and helps increase the stiffness of bar soaps and waxes. It may also lend itself to waterproofing qualities. Worth noting, research indicates that sodium stearate can leave a residue, which could potentially clog pores. Another issue, generally speaking, is that bar cleansers/soaps tend to be drying on skin (although it depends on the exact composition of the formula). Sodium stearate can be synthetically made or animal derived. It is supplied as a white powder in its raw material form. In their 2019 report, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that sodium stearate is safe in the present practices of use and concentration described in their assessment when formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing. Their report looked at personal care products containing 0.000075–84% concentration of this ingredient. Powiązane składniki: Soap
