C20-40 ALKYL STEARATE is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Skin Conditioning, Viscosity Controlling.

In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 1 product label, reaching position 13 on Nivea Men Deep Dimension Stick Deodorant. INCIDB's rule-derived heuristic flags it as a possible Malassezia (fungal-acne) trigger. That is a rule, not a measurement — treat it as a filter rather than a finding.
