About

Stearamide Mea-stearate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Stearamide MEA-stearate is a fatty acid alkanolamide that functions as an opacifying agent and viscosity controller in cosmetic emulsions and surfactant systems. It is not subject to specific EU cosmetic restrictions. Minor concerns exist regarding potential nitrosamine formation if formulated with nitrosating agents, but under normal conditions it is considered safe.

Skin benefits

  • Provides opacifying effect to cosmetic formulations
  • Controls viscosity and product texture
  • Low irritation potential at cosmetic use levels

Known concerns

  • Minor nitrosamine formation potential if combined with nitrosating agents
