Arachidic acid is a saturated fatty acid that can be derived from various plant and animal sources. In cosmetic formulations, it primarily functions as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin. It can also act as a surfactant or emulsifier, aiding in the mixing of oil and water-based ingredients.
