About Stearic Acid - Triple Pressed - Vegetable Based
Stearic Acid - Triple Pressed - Vegetable Based - White Flakes - 1 lb. - safety sealed HDPE container with resealable child resistant cap A saturated fatty acid, naturally-occurring stearic acid can come from many animal and vegetable fats. Our Stearic Acid is 100% vegetable-based, triple-pressed, and cosmetic and pharmaceutical grade. It can be used as an inexpensive emulsifying agent in water-in-oil and oil-in-water formulations. Stearic acid is a waxy solid. It is frequently used to bind, stabilize and harden soap bars. It's soap-like quality enables it to penetrate the skin, providing emollient and skin-softening properties. Also used to emulsify, thicken, or otherwise bind and stabilize lotions and creams including shaving creams. Stearic acid is also widely used in candles. In candle making it adds firmness, a longer burn-time, and a white (opaque) smooth look.
