STEARAMIDE MIPA.

Valuable CAS 35627-96-4 / ANTISTATIC, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

STEARAMIDE MIPA is an oil-soluble amide derived from stearic acid, commonly utilized in cosmetic formulations for its multifunctional properties. It plays a key role in enhancing product texture, stability, and the overall sensory experience of formulations.

Summary

Antistatic Surfactant Viscosity Controlling Emulsifying Foam Boosting

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions as a versatile agent within cosmetic systems. As a surfactant, it notably boosts foam quality by increasing volume, structure, and durability in cleansers. It also acts as an effective antistatic agent, particularly beneficial in hair care to reduce electrostatic charges. Furthermore, STEARAMIDE MIPA contributes as a viscosity controlling agent, allowing formulators to precisely adjust the thickness of a product.

Conflicts

  • Formulations containing N-nitrosating agents should avoid STEARAMIDE MIPA due to the potential for forming N-nitrosamines from its MIPA component (isopropanolamine).

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded STEARAMIDE MIPA, along with other alkyl amide MIPA ingredients, as safe for cosmetic use, provided the final formulation is non-irritating. While specific maximum use concentrations for STEARAMIDE MIPA have not been formally reported in surveys, related ingredients like Oleamide MIPA have been observed up to 0.4% in leave-on face and neck formulations, and Cocamide MIPA up to 12% in rinse-off products. It is not restricted under European Union cosmetic product regulations. Its MIPA component is permitted by the FDA for certain indirect food additive applications.
