Soy sterol acetate is a mixture of phytosterols based on soy, esterified with acetic acid, which is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an emulsifier (surface-active substance used in cosmetic preparations as an auxiliary agent to unite 2 immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - into an emulsion) and as a skin care agent (keeps the skin in good condition).
