Stearic Acid

Stearic Acid is a high-quality, cosmetic-grade fatty acid derived from natural plant sources. Widely used in the beauty and personal care industry, it acts as an effective thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, balms, and soaps. This white, waxy substance enhances the texture and shelf life of skincare formulations while contributing to a smooth, luxurious feel. Ideal for DIY skincare enthusiasts and professional cosmetic manufacturers alike.

Benefits:

1. Excellent thickening and emulsifying agent
2. Enhances the stability and consistency of products
3. Provides a smooth, rich texture to creams and lotions
4. Helps harden soaps and improve lather quality
5. 100% cosmetic grade and plant-derived
6. Suitable for vegan and cruelty-free formulations

How to Use:

• In Creams & Lotions: Melt stearic acid with oils and emulsifiers during the oil phase (typically 2–5% of the total formulation).
• In Soap Making: Add during the heating phase to enhance hardness and structure.
• In Haircare Products: Include in the emulsification process to improve texture and spreadability.
