HYDROXYETHYL STEARAMIDE-MIPA.

Valuable CAS 93842-81-0 / ANTISTATIC, OPACIFYING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

HYDROXYETHYL STEARAMIDE-MIPA is a multi-functional ingredient primarily employed in cosmetic formulations to enhance product characteristics. It effectively manages viscosity, minimizes static electricity, and contributes to product opacity, while also boosting foam in cleansing applications.

Summary

Antistatic agent Viscosity controlling agent Opacifying agent Surfactant - foam boosting

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by modulating the physical attributes of cosmetic preparations. It acts as an antistatic agent by reducing electrical charges, serves as a viscosity regulator to control the fluidity or thickness of a product, and operates as an opacifier to decrease product transparency. Furthermore, it performs as a surfactant and foam booster, contributing to lather formation in wash-off products.
