Stearic Acid is a long-chain fatty acid derived from vegetable palm oil as well as animal and vegetable fats. It is commonly used as a thickening agent in lotions, creams, and shampoos. Stearic Acid also functions as a hardening agent in stick products and bar soaps, and is added to candles to raise the melting point and improve their quality.
To obtain different concentrations, certain pressing methods are used to separate solid saturated fatty acids from liquid unsaturated fatty acids. Cosmetic-grade Stearic Acid is typically pressed two or three times to achieve the desired purity and concentration.
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-98, also known as a long-chain fatty acid, is derived from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is widely used in the production of detergents, soaps, hair care products, and cosmetics, including bar soaps, shampoos, shaving creams, and candles.
As an emollient, emulsifier, and lubricant, Stearic Acid helps soften the skin and improve moisturization. Its end-use applications are extensive, including in metallic stearates, fatty amines, alkyd resins, paper, plastics, coatings, paint, soaps, detergents, cosmetics, creams, lotions, polishing compounds, lubricants, surface coatings, candles, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging. Additionally, Stearic Acid is used as a softener, accelerator activator, and dispersing agent in the rubber industry.
