Stearyl Stearate

Overview

Stearyl Stearate (INCI: Stearyl Stearate, CAS: 112-61-8) is a premium, high-purity waxy ester meticulously derived from the controlled reaction of stearyl alcohol and stearic acid, both long-chain saturated fatty compounds. As a highly stable and versatile ingredient, it is widely recognized by our industrial chemists for its superior performance as an emollient, thickener, and skin conditioning agent across a broad spectrum of high-demand applications. Its unique chemical structure imparts excellent thermal stability, a high melting point, and a characteristic non-greasy, smooth sensory feel, making it an indispensable component in sophisticated formulations.
