Information
Sucrose Tetrastearate Triacetate is a complex ester derived from sucrose (a type of sugar) and stearic acid (a fatty acid), along with acetic acid. Known for its unique structure that provides excellent emollient, thickening, and stabilizing properties, making it a valuable addition to skincare formulations.
Where does it come from?
Sucrose Tetrastearate Triacetate is synthesized through the esterification process, where sucrose reacts with stearic acid and acetic acid. Stearic acid is typically derived from natural fats and oils from vegetable sources. Sucrose is sourced from sugarcane or sugar beets, while acetic acid can be obtained from vinegar.
Emollient Properties: It acts as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin. It forms a protective layer on the skin's surface, reducing moisture loss and providing a silky, non-greasy feel.
Thickening Agent: Due to its unique molecular structure, it functions as a thickening agent, enhancing the viscosity and texture essential for creating rich and luxurious creams.
Stabilizing Agent: It helps to stabilize emulsions, ensuring that the oil and water components in formulations remain well-mixed and do not separate. This stability enhances the shelf life and effectiveness of skincare products.
Moisturizing: By forming a barrier on the skin, it helps to retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and preventing dryness. This makes it particularly beneficial for dry skin types.
Enhanced Sensory Experience: Providing a smooth application and a pleasant texture. This enhances the overall sensory experience, making the product more enjoyable.
