STEARETH-7

Safety grade: A

Steareth-7 is a cleansing agent made from stearic acid (a fatty acid) combined with a plant-derived ingredient called ethylene oxide. It helps mix oil and water together in cosmetic products, similar to how dish soap helps clean greasy dishes.

This ingredient works as an emulsifier and cleanser to blend oil and water-based ingredients together and remove dirt and oil from the skin.
