FunctionStabilizer
What it is — Magnesium Stearate is the magnesium salt of stearic acid, a fatty acid found in plant fats.
What it does — It stabilizes emulsions, improves spreadability and lends a soft, slightly powdery finish.
Typical use — A supporting texture ingredient in creams, balms and powder-cream hybrids.
Who it suits / good to know — Inert on skin for most people; it shapes how the cream feels rather than what it treats.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
