Good for dry skin
Good for dry skin

Palmitic Acid is an emulsion stabilizer. It reduces water evaporation from the surface of your skin. That’s why this component is good if you suffer from dryness. It also increases the efficiency of other surfactants in the formulation. It can be found in many organic oils including Avocado oil, Cocoa oil, Olive oil etc.

#3Triethanolamine

Origin: chemical
Role: Buffering agent, Emulsifying agent, Fragrance ingredient, Masking, Surfactant
Comedogenic rating [ 2 ]
EWG Rating [ 5 ]
CIR Rating [ B ]

Triethanolamine is a pH adjuster. It is a toxic component that can be absorbed by the skin and detected in blood later. It can be a dermal irritant. Though it's considered safe, you should think before using it in skincare. There are many products on the market without Triethanolamine.
