Description
Steareth-20 is essential in the manufacture of lotions and creams. It binds oils and water together to form an emulsion. It can also help to improve the texture and feel of skincare products. Steareth-20 is generally available as a waxy, solid material. It’s also a common ingredient in pomade waxes. In subchronic testing, steareth-20 was nontoxic to rabbits when administered dermally at concentrations of 4%. However, it’s highly unsafe to use on irritation or damaged skin.
