So, what is stearic acid diethanolamide?

Stearic acid diethanolamide is a versatile food ingredient used primarily as an emulsifier and stabilizer.

Stearic acid diethanolamide is a pale yellow waxy substance that is soluble in water and alcohol. It is commonly used in food products such as baked goods, desserts, and sauces to improve texture, increase shelf life, and enhance flavor. Due to its emulsifying properties, stearic acid diethanolamide can also be used in personal care products such as shampoos and lotions.
