Stearic acid is derived through the hydrolysis of common vegetable and animal oils and fats. The resulting fatty acids undergo crystallization or distillation, with pressing methods employed to separate solid saturated fatty acids from liquid unsaturated ones. Cosmetic-grade stearic acid is typically pressed two or three times to achieve different concentrations.
Stearic acid, a vegetable palm oil-derived fatty acid, is primarily used in the production of soaps, detergents, and various cosmetics, including shaving creams and shampoos. It also acts as a thickener and stabilizer in cosmetic formulations.
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-45, a long-chain fatty acid, is sourced from vegetable oils and animal fats. It plays a key role in the manufacture of detergents, soaps, hair care products, and cosmetics such as bar soaps, shampoos, shaving creams, and candles.
As an emollient, emulsifier, and lubricant, Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-45 helps to soften and moisturize the skin. Its applications extend to metallic stearates, fatty amines, alkyd resins, paper, plastics, coatings, paints, soaps, detergents, cosmetics, creams, lotions, polishing compounds, lubricants, surface coatings, candles, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging. It is also used as a softener, accelerator activator, and dispersing agent in rubber production.
