About
Dimethylenecyclohexane Bis-Hydroxystearamide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Dimethylenecyclohexane Bis-hydroxystearamide is a polymeric fatty acid amide that functions as a film-forming agent and viscosity-controlling agent in cosmetic formulations. It is not listed in EU Annex II or III restrictions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. Its high molecular weight and polymeric nature limit systemic absorption. However, as a relatively specialized ingredient, it has limited published independent safety data, keeping its score in the moderate-high range.
