What it is
Stearamide AMP is the amide formed from stearic acid and aminomethyl propanol (AMP). In formulas it functions chiefly to build viscosity and help stabilize emulsions, and it can contribute opacity. It is a structural, texture-defining ingredient rather than an active.
Safety & warnings
Used at typical cosmetic levels it is generally well tolerated. It is a fatty amide that serves a structural role and is not associated with notable allergenicity. It is not strongly linked to comedogenicity.
Origin & sourcing
Synthetic, produced by reacting stearic acid with aminomethyl propanol.
