It serves primarily as an emulsifier and stabilizing agent in various topical preparations such as creams, lotions, and ointments. Its role is to improve the texture and consistency of these formulations, enhancing the spreadability and stability of the product. Additionally, stearyl alcohol can act as a lubricant and hydrophobic matrix material in some tablet formulations, influencing the release profile of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
