Sucrose Stearate
What Sucrose Stearate is & what it does
A sugar-derived emulsifier that creates mild, stable emulsions with a light, pleasant feel. It is gentle and well tolerated.
What does Sucrose Stearate do in skincare?
Sucrose Stearate is commonly used as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent. It helps blend oil and water phases into a stable, smooth cream and adds a soft, pleasant feel to the skin. It is often chosen for gentle, sugar-based formulas.
Is Sucrose Stearate natural or synthetic?
It is considered a naturally derived ingredient. It is made by combining sucrose, a sugar from sources like sugar cane or beet, with stearic acid, a fatty acid that can come from vegetable oils. The two are joined through processing to create the emulsifier.
Is Sucrose Stearate comedogenic?
Sucrose Stearate is generally considered low on the comedogenic scale and is widely used in formulas for various skin types. As an emulsifier it is typically present in modest amounts. How any product affects your pores can still depend on the full formula and your individual skin.
