STEARYL CEROTATE/CARNAUBATE.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

Stearyl Cerotate/Carnaubate is an ester synthesized from stearic acid and the fatty acid components of carnauba wax. This ingredient primarily functions as a skin conditioning agent, imparting emollient properties to enhance skin texture and support the epidermal barrier, particularly beneficial for dry skin types.

Skin Conditioning Emollient

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an ester, Stearyl Cerotate/Carnaubate works on the skin by forming a protective, lipid-rich layer, thereby providing emollient effects. This action helps to smooth the skin's surface, reduce transepidermal water loss, and improve overall skin feel, contributing to a strengthened skin barrier function.
