STEARIC ACID TRIPLE PRESSED 500 GRAMS

Stearic acid hasimportant cleansing properties that make it useful in soaps. The ingredient acts as a surfactant, a substance that lowers the surface tension of oils. Oils have a higher surface tension than ordinary water, which is why water droplets do not readily mix with oils. By lowering the surface tension of oil, stearic acid allows water to combine with the oil molecules and wash them away. As a result, stearic acid helps to remove dirt, sweat and excess sebum from the skin and hair. This makes it a useful ingredient in cleansers, body washes and shampoos as well as bar soaps.

What is Stearic Acid used in?Why is Stearic Acid in so many products?Because stearic acid helps water and oil mix, the ingredient is also added to many liquid cosmetics and skin and hair care products in low concentrations to function as an additive rather than an active ingredient or cleansing agent.

In these products, stearic acid helps prevent the formulas from separating into liquid and oily layers.

As a result, products that contain stearic acid require less shaking prior to use and remain more potent when stored for extended periods of time.
Is Stearic Acid natural?Because stearic acid is derived from natural sources and not produced in industrial settings, it is sometimes used as an alternative to chemical ingredients in natural skin care.

Often the ingredient is sourced from by-products obtained during the processing of meats, particularly pork.

For this reason, it is not frequently used in vegan cosmetics and skin care however; stearic acid sourced from plants is suitable in formulas that are animal-free.
Can I use Stearic Acid?The US Food and Drug Administration has concluded that stearic acid is safe for topical use in skin care products in limited quantities, indicating that some people with sensitive skin may be unable to tolerate the ingredient.
