Stearic Acid is a fatty acid. It is an emollient, emulsifier, and texture enhancer.

As an emollient, stearic acid helps soften skin. It aids the skin's protective barrier by preventing water loss. It also provides a gentle cleansing effect without stripping away natural oils.

Stearic acid may also be used to enhance the texture of products. It can add volume and stabilize ingredients such as water and oil. This can help water and oil ingredients from separating.

Sources of stearic acid include animal or vegetable fats/oils such as coconut or shea. It can be naturally found in butter, cocoa butter, shea butter, vegetable fats, and animal tallow.

This ingredient may not be Malassezia folliculitis, or fungal-acne safe.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

TOO HARSH
Someone in the pharmacy recommended this product.
After using this, my skin feels so DRY and TIGHT. Used it for 3 days and threw it away as I realised that during the evening my skin feels so oily meaning that it is affecting my natural oil for the day! I guess its for ppl with oily skin!

I do not recommend this product.

After using for about a month, I'd had seen my skin gotten more tight and dry after cleansing with this cleanser and this had stripped almost everything from my skin.

There's also a minty type smell that might irritate your eyes.
