Aluminum Salt

✨ Role: Aluminum distearate is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in cosmetic products. It helps improve the texture of formulations by increasing their viscosity, which thickens creams and other products, giving them a more pleasant consistency when applied.

Ingredient type: Thickener

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally considered safe in cosmetic formulations at typical concentrations.

✨ Vegan: No. This ingredient may be derived from animal sources, depending on its origin.

✨ Note: Aluminum distearate is well tolerated by most skin types, but people with sensitive or allergy-prone skin should always perform a skin test beforehand. It is unlikely to cause irritation at the concentrations used in cosmetics.

Found in: Creams, lotions, foundations, makeup products, and ointments.
