Information

Disteardimonium Hectorite is a modified clay mineral used in skincare and cosmetics as a thickener, stabilizer, and suspension agent. It can give products a smooth, uniform texture while keeping pigments and other active ingredients evenly dispersed throughout a formula.

Where does it come from?

It is derived from hectorite, a naturally occurring clay mineral composed primarily of magnesium silicate. Through a process with stearyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium compounds, the clay becomes organophilic—meaning it can mix well with oils and emulsions used in cosmetic formulations.

What are the benefits?

SMOOTHING STABILIZING TEXTURE

What are the benefits?

  • Stabilizes formulations: Keeps ingredients like pigments or actives from separating or settling.
  • Texture: Adds a silky, smooth feel and contributes to the spreadability of products.
  • Viscosity control: Can adjust and maintain the desired thickness of creams and emulsions.
  • Suspension: Keeps solid or colored particles evenly distributed for consistent application.

How is it used in our products?

Disteardimonium Hectorite is used in HT Pearl Primer Serum from OLIVE ROSE. It is included to ensure a smooth and stable formulation. It can maintain uniformity, minimize ingredient separation, and provides a luxurious, non-greasy texture—making it valuable in our high-performance and long-wear cosmetic products.
