Functionemollient

What it is — Arachidic Acid (INCI: Arachidic Acid) is a long-chain fatty acid used as an emollient and texture agent.

What it does — It is commonly used to soften the skin, support the surface and give creams a stable, cushioned texture.

Typical use — It appears in creams, lotions, balms and cleansers, often as part of the emollient or emulsifying system.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally well tolerated across skin types. Richer, waxy textures can feel heavy on very oily skin, so preference varies by person.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a skin-identical-type fatty acid. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — skin-identical fatty acid.
