Abstract

The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (Panel) assessed the safety of Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate. Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate is reported to function in cosmetics as a skin conditioning and viscosity increasing agent. The Panel reviewed the relevant new data concerning the safety of this ingredient in cosmetic formulations, as well as data from previously published safety assessments, and concluded that Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate is safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment when formulated to be non-irritating.
