STEARIC ACID About

STEARIC ACID is a common, non-toxic, 18-carbon saturated fatty acid found in animal/vegetable fats, widely used as a thickener, emulsifier, and hardener in soaps, cosmetics, candles, and plastics. It is generally considered safe for skin, acting as a moisturizer and surfactant, with high stability.

Common Uses

Cosmetics & Skincare: Acts as an emulsifier, opacifier, and thickening agent in creams, lotions, masacaras, and foundations.
Soaps & Candles: Hardens soaps and provides a long-lasting, firm texture; used in candles to maintain structure.
Pharmaceuticals:
Used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production.

Industrial: Softens plastics and serves as a mold release agent.

Safety Profile: Recognized as safe in cosmetics; non-irritating and non-sensitizing.
Potential Side Effects: While generally safe, excessive amounts in skincare may cause a "grabby" or dry, waxy feel on the skin. It is non-toxic if ingested in small amounts.
Health Benefits: Some studies suggest that creams containing stearic acid may help reduce skin inflammation and lesion progression, such as in cold sores.

Sources: Occurs naturally in vegetable oils (cocoa butter, shea butter) and animal fats (beef tallow).
Manufacturing: Produced by the hydrolysis of fats (saponification) followed by acidification and purification.
Chemical Structure: A long-chain fatty acid with a polar head and non-polar tail, making it ideal for emulsification.
