Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient works within cosmetic formulations to modify their physical properties. It achieves opacification by altering light reflection, stabilizes foam by reinforcing the liquid-air interface, and thickens products by increasing the internal friction of the formula.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has determined that current data are insufficient to support the safety of Stearamide DIBA-Stearate for use in cosmetic products. While a repeated-insult patch test (RIPT) at an effective concentration of 0.052% found it to be nonsensitizing, the overall safety assessment remains incomplete.
