About this ingredient
Trihydroxystearin is a polyhydric alcohol derived from stearic acid, functioning as a thickening agent and emollient in cosmetic formulations. It helps improve texture, provide slip, and condition the skin while stabilizing emulsions. This ingredient is commonly used in creams, lotions, and sunscreens to enhance spreadability and create a smooth, luxurious feel.
