Polyhydroxystearic Acid Uses In Cosmetics
01
Product Description
Polyhydroxystearic Acid is a synthetic fatty acid derivative commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is derived from stearic acid through hydroxylation, resulting in a molecule with both hydrophilic and lipophilic regions. This amphiphilic structure makes it an effective emulsifier, thickener, and texture modifier, widely valued for its ability to stabilize oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions and improve product consistency.
Aogebio® proudly introduces Polyhydroxystearic Acid (PHSA), a cutting-edge cosmetic ingredient renowned for its exceptional emulsifying, stabilizing, and skin-conditioning properties. As a versatile biocompatible emollient, PHSA enhances texture, improves spreadability, and boosts the longevity of creams, sunscreens, and makeup formulations. Its non-greasy, hydrating effects make it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin, while its oxidation resistance ensures product stability. Trusted by cosmetic chemists, Polyhydroxystearic Acid by Aogebio® delivers superior performance in water-resistant formulations, natural cosmetics, and premium skincare. Elevate your brand with PHSA—where science meets sustainability.
