Packaged in a convenient resealable pouch, this 16 oz product is perfect for eco-conscious creators looking to enhance their homemade beauty and wellness products. ## Description Stearic acid is naturally occurring fatty acid that is a waxy solid and comes in forms of flakes or beads (form does not affect product’s quality). Stearic acid is one of the most common saturated fatty acids found in nature after palmitic acid and has an enormous variety of uses as an ingredient in cosmetics and industrial products. It is extracted from vegetable fats and some oils (mostly palm or coconut). It is also used as a lubricant (in shaving crèmes and deodorants), to change the consistency and melting temperature of a product (in candles, lotions). Stearic acid is extensively utilized in the production of candles. It is used to harden the wax and strengthen the candle. It, also, has an impact on the melting point of the wax, improving the durability and consistency of the candle. In addition, stearic acid is used in the production of soap; it hardens soaps. It gives products (shampoos/body washes, crèmes) a pearly color when used in a combination with lye (NaOH or similar products to raise pH). Improves consistency of the finished products. ## Features - Fatty acid is used to thicken and stabilize emulsions. Serves as an emulsifier when neutralized with lye or similar ingredients - Plant derived ingredient, suitable for vegan and natural/green homemade cosmetics recipes. - Use it for soap making, candle making or homemade body butters/lotions. - Comes in convinient re-sealble stand up pouch. Easy to use, easy to store. - COSMETIC GRADE.

If you use stearic acid and use other ingredient that will increase final pH of your lotion/creme (sodium hydroxide, commonly known as lye is widely used for this purpose) then yes, stearic acid will work as an emulsifier.However, this emulsifying system (stearic acid/lye), usually results in creme/lotion with poor feel on a skin. It would not absorb into skin easily or would have draggy effect when applied on a skin.It is very rare when only one emulsifier is used in lotions/cremes (even emulsifying waxes have more than one ingredient). Stearic acid system is used as a co-emulsifier (helper) in most of the cosmetics products. In addition, it is used in cremes/lotions to achieve different thickness and textures of the final products.Hope, this answers your question. **Q: could u used this as an emulsifying on cream lotions?** A: Stearic acid is not an emulsifier. It can stabilize an emulsion and thicken lotions. Use it in conjunction with an emulsifier. **Q: Is this made from tallow, palm, or coconut source? The description does not say. I'm not willing to palm, it's not cruelty-free or sustainable** A: This is a plant based product; no tallow. However, palm can be an initial source of the manufacturing process (alone or in combination with coconut).I understand your stand on palm based products, but, unfortunately, all fatty acids and alcohols (and their derivatives) will contain palm. Many dishonest suppliers swear that their products are coconut based because they know that it almost impossible to determine through testing of final product (stearic acid in this case) if palm or coconut oils were used in its production.But this stearic acid is sourced from the manufacturer that is a member of RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil). **Q: Can I use this with a parasoy wax blend? (52%paraffin 48%soy)** A: yes. It works with natural and synthetics or combination of both waxes. Only negatively charged ingredients (like Behenyl TMS/ behentrimonium methosulfate that is, usually, used in hair conditioners) do not work well together with Stearic Acid ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2019* I haven't had any issues with this product, and it works well for my purposes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Stearic Acid *by C***W on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2023* So walked into hobby lobby for some 10$ batteries- walked out with 130$ worth of candle making equipment- new to all 1st candles were cool but definitely on the softer side- I put some Stearic Acid in and it makes a big difference- notice a big change in burn time too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Ingredient *by A*** on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2023* I would buy this product from this company over and over again.
