ABIETIC ACID

Safety grade: A

Abietic acid is a natural resin acid found in pine trees and other conifers, extracted from rosin (the solid form of pine resin). It is a waxy, yellowish substance that has been used for centuries in various industrial and cosmetic applications.

It is used in cosmetic products to help keep oil and water mixtures stable so they don't separate, while also acting as a surfactant to help ingredients blend together more effectively.
