About

Emollient and skin-conditioning ester that provides a smooth, protective feel.

Stearamidodihydroxyisobutyl stearate is a complex amide-ester structure combining stearic acid and hydroxyisobutyl groups for enhanced skin substantivity. It functions as a skin-conditioning agent and emollient, improving product texture and skin feel. It is not listed on EU Annexes II or III restrictions and carries no GHS hazard statements. The amide bond provides additional chemical stability compared to pure esters, while the hydroxyisobutyl group enhances moisture-binding properties.
