Introducing Stearic Acid, a natural fatty acid derived from vegetable fats renowned for its versatility and efficacy in various formulations. Known scientifically as octadecanoic acid or heptadecane-carboxylic acid, this anionic oil-in-water emulsifier is a cornerstone ingredient for many cosmetic and personal care products.
Stearic Acid excels as an emulsion stabilising agent and provides effective thickening properties. When incorporated into lotions, it not only thickens the formulation but also imparts a soft, pearly, and cooling feel on the skin, enhancing the overall sensory experience. This makes it a favourite among formulators aiming to create luxurious and high-quality skincare products.
Beyond skincare, Stearic Acid’s utility extends to stick products and bar soaps, where it acts as a hardening agent, ensuring the product retains its shape and consistency. In candle making, it is valued for its ability to increase the melting point, contributing to longer-lasting and more resilient candles.
Stearic Acid is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including creams and lotions, candles, soaps, ointments, balms, salves, body butters, and shampoos. Its vegetable-based origin aligns with eco-conscious practices, supporting sustainable formulation choices without compromising on performance.
Our commitment to quality and customisation ensures that Stearic Acid meets your specific formulation needs, backed by our expertise and reliable service. We position ourselves as your partner, providing end-to-end support to help you achieve excellence in your products.
