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.

I’ll probably try a different cleanser next time with less harsh ingredients since my skin is on the sensitive side, but it may be a Show more
So far the worst cleanser ever. It stripped my skin so bad and broke me out. It dried out my skin and after using it for like one week, my face started to feel very sensitive and it hurt too. Had to go to dermatologist all because of this cleanser.
