About
N-Stearoyl Serinol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
N-Stearoyl Serinol (stearic acid amide of 2-amino-1,3-propanediol) is a neutral lipid-like ingredient used as a skin-conditioning agent and emollient.
