Sorbitan Stearate

Low risk

FunctionEmulsifier

What it is — Sorbitan Stearate (INCI: Sorbitan Stearate) is a sorbitol-and-stearic-acid-derived emulsifier.

What it does — It is commonly used to blend oil and water phases into a smooth, stable emulsion.

Typical use — It appears in creams, lotions and balms, often paired with a complementary emulsifier to build the base.

Who it suits / good to know — Present at supporting levels rather than as an active, and generally low-irritation. It shapes stability and feel rather than delivering a skincare effect.

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.
