Stearic Acid

Starting at: $3.25

Stearic acid is successfully used to thicken creams and lotions at about 2-5%. Our triple pressed, vegetable based Stearic Acid is derived from Palm. Popularly used to emulsify, thicken, bind, and stabilize lotions and creams.

Stearic acid can be added to your soap formula to add hardness to the formula, compensating when a formula produces a soft bar. Usage rate is approximately 1 oz per 5 lbs of base oils.

Additionally, Stearic acid is used to harden candle wax and produces a longer burn time. The stearic acid gives candles an opague or white appearance and aids in oil retention and throw of aroma. Suggested use is 3-6 tablespoons per pound of wax.

Stearic acid is a white, waxy granular or flake that stores well under most conditions, with an indefinite shelf life.
