CAS 4568-28-9

Triethanolamine stearate

Description:

Triethanolamine stearate, with the CAS number 4568-28-9, is a chemical compound formed from the reaction of triethanolamine and stearic acid. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its formulation and temperature. This substance is primarily used as an emulsifier, surfactant, and stabilizing agent in various applications, including cosmetics, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. Triethanolamine stearate exhibits good solubility in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for formulation purposes. It is known for its ability to enhance the texture and stability of products, providing a smooth feel and improving the dispersion of active ingredients. Additionally, it has mild skin-conditioning properties, which contribute to its popularity in skincare formulations. While generally considered safe for use in cosmetic products, it is essential to adhere to recommended concentrations and conduct appropriate safety assessments, as with any chemical substance.
