Information

Polyhydroxystearic Acid is a multifunctional plant-derived compound used in cosmetics and skincare formulations. It is derived from hydroxystearic acid, a modified fatty acid, and is valued for its ability to stabilize formulations, improve texture, and contribute to the performance of other ingredients.

Where does it come from?

Polyhydroxystearic Acid is produced from castor oil or other plant-based fatty acids through a process that compounds hydroxystearic acid. The result is a biodegradable, plant-derived compound that is compatible with modern “clean beauty” standards.

Polyhydroxystearic Acid is used in Serum Hydroxytyrosol Skin Tint and Serum Concealer from OLIVE ROSE. It is included in our pigment-containing formulations to keep particles evenly distributed and stable.
