TETRADECYLOCTADECANOIC ACID.

Insufficient Data / EMULSION STABILISING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

Tetradecyloctadecanoic Acid is a synthetic fatty acid primarily employed in cosmetic formulations to ensure product stability and optimal texture. It functions as a key component in maintaining uniform emulsions and adjusting viscosity.

Summary

Emulsion Stabilizer Viscosity Controlling

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by stabilizing the immiscible phases within an emulsion, preventing separation of oil and water components. Concurrently, it influences the rheological properties of a formulation, effectively controlling its thickness and flow.

While the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has evaluated many related fatty acids and their salts, generally deeming them safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing, Tetradecyloctadecanoic Acid specifically has not undergone an individual review. Consequently, there is no established maximum concentration or detailed safety assessment for this particular compound.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

Tetradecyloctadecanoic Acid is a functional excipient for emulsion stability and viscosity control, but a lack of specific CIR review and direct skin compatibility data necessitates a cautious approach for precision skincare applications.
