It helps to combine water and oil-based ingredients, creating a smooth and creamy texture. Potassium Stearate is generally considered safe for use in skincare products, but it may cause skin irritation in some individuals. It is also used as a cleansing agent in various products for hair, face, and body, and as a co-emulsifier in lotions, balms, assorted color cosmetics, and hair styling waxes.
