About

An aluminum amino acid derivative used as an emulsifier and texture enhancer with a favorable safety profile.

Aluminum stearoyl glutamate is the aluminum salt of a glutamate fatty acid derivative, combining an amino acid backbone with a long-chain fatty acid. It functions as an effective emulsifier and texture modifier in cosmetic formulations. The compound has been assessed by the EU SCCS and found to be safe for cosmetic use at normal concentrations. Aluminum compounds in cosmetics face ongoing scrutiny, but this specific amino acid salt has a relatively favorable profile compared to inorganic aluminum salts.
