ALUMINUM DICETYL PHOSPHATE.

Valuable CAS 26527-54-8 / EMULSION STABILISING

Aluminum Dicetyl Phosphate is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient primarily used to stabilize emulsions and control product viscosity, enhancing overall texture and feel.

Summary

emulsion stabilising viscosity controlling

Science

Mechanism of Action

It functions by reducing interfacial tension between oil and water phases, creating a structural network to prevent droplet coalescence. In solid cosmetics, it acts as a gelling agent for silicone oils, improving persistence and spreadability.

Stability

Highly stable in anhydrous systems and oil-in-water emulsions, it prevents 'oil floating' or 'dripping' and is insoluble in water.

Conflicts

  • Incompatible with high concentrations of strong oxidizing agents.
  • Sensitive to extreme pH values outside 4.0-7.0 in aqueous systems, which can lead to hydrolysis.
