Effective Emulsifier and Stabilizer: As a key ingredient in emulsions, Stearic Acid stabilizes and thickens formulations, ensuring a consistent and smooth texture. Its emulsifying properties help bind oil and water components seamlessly, resulting in a well-balanced product.
Enhanced Skin Feel: When applied topically, Stearic Acid delivers a luxurious cooling sensation that is comforting and refreshing. Its softening properties leave the skin feeling velvety and smooth, enhancing the overall sensory experience of skin care products.
Hydration Support: Known for its occlusive properties, Stearic Acid helps to form a protective barrier on the skin's surface that prevents moisture loss. This feature makes it an ideal component in moisturizing creams and lotions.
Thickening Agent: When used in conjunction with other thickeners and stabilizers, Stearic Acid enhances the viscosity of formulations, ensuring they maintain their intended consistency over time.
Formulation Base: Stearic Acid serves as a foundational ingredient for lubricants, emollients, and emulsifiers, providing the necessary structure and stability for these components to perform effectively within the formulation.
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed is a high-quality fatty acid derived from vegetable fats and oils. Recognized for its versatility and effectiveness, Stearic Acid is a cornerstone ingredient in a variety of formulations, ranging from cosmetics to candles.
This waxy solid is typically white or colorless with a mild aroma and is known for its unique solubility properties. While it dissolves in oil, it only slightly dissolves in water, allowing it to float. As a long-chain fatty acid, Stearic Acid—also known as Octadecanoic Acid due to its 18-carbon chain—is a principal component of both Cocoa and Shea butter. It works harmoniously with other fatty acids to support and nourish the skin, contributing to a smooth, velvety texture in skin care products. Stearic Acid also forms a protective barrier on the skin, helping to retain moisture and maintain hydration.
When incorporated into soap formulations, Stearic Acid produces a more solid bar with a more stable and rich lather, enhancing the user experience. In candle production, Stearic Acid helps to harden the wax, resulting in a longer-lasting, more durable product.
Whether you're crafting skin care products, luxurious soaps, or high-quality candles, Stearic Acid Triple Pressed is an essential ingredient that enhances performance and elevates the quality of your formulations.
Lotions and Face Creams: Add 2-5% Stearic Acid to the oil phase of your formulation and heat until fully melted. Incorporate it into your emulsions to enhance thickness and texture, resulting in a rich, luxurious feel.
Bar Soaps, Cleansers, and Detergents: Stearic Acid can be added to soap and detergent formulations to act as a thickener and hardener. Melt 0.5% Stearic Acid along with the other fats and oils in your formulation. Its surfactant properties will help to ensure a stable emulsion, enhancing the product's effectiveness and shelf life.
Paraffin Candles: Stearic Acid acts as a hardener, enabling the production of longer-lasting candles. Add 3-5% Stearic Acid to melted paraffin wax and mix thoroughly. Its inclusion will cause the wax to shrink as it cools, facilitating easy release from molds and enhancing the opacity and vibrancy of added dyes.
