Description

Butyl stearate is an ester formed from the reaction of stearic acid and butanol. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. Butyl stearate is used as a lubricant, plasticizer, and emollient in a wide variety of applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food. It is also used as a mold release agent and as a component of hydraulic fluids. Butyl stearate is a safe and effective ingredient that has been used for many years. It is not known to be carcinogenic or to cause any other adverse health effects. However, some people may experience mild skin irritation if they are sensitive to it. It is studied for its potential use in various applications, including its use as a biodegradable lubricant and its ability to enhance the barrier properties of the skin.'
