  • Applications

    Stigmasterol 3-stearate (CAS 23838-16-6) is a waxy plant sterol ester used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient, conditioning agent, and structuring or thickening component in oil-based formulations; it is also employed as a bio-based plasticizer or additive in polymers and coatings to improve texture, flexibility, and gloss; in coatings and inks it can act as a lubricating oil component to aid flow and handling; in agricultural formulations it is evaluated as a carrier for active ingredients or as an adjuvant to improve formulation performance.
