Ethylhexyl Stearate

Ethylhexyl Stearate is an emollient - an ingredient that helps to prevent water loss in the skin as well as softens and soothes. Examples of emollients are plant oils, shea butter and cocoa butter. At Rosalique, we don’t use mineral oils, or any ingredients derived from the petroleum industry or from animals.

Ethylhexyl Stearate also helps to enhance the texture of the skin, giving the skin a smoother feel. Additional emollients like triglycerides, benzoates, myristates, palmitates, and stearates share similar waxy characteristics, enhancing the texture and feel of moisturisers.  These compounds collectively contribute to the overall softening properties of the skin.
