Stearic Acid

• STEARIC ACID - Stearic acid is a fatty acid found in vegetable fats and oils, which is separated by pressing methods. The process of obtaining stearic acid involves hydrolysis and fractionation of the fatty acids. This is done by distillation or crystallization of the fatty acids to separate the liquid unsaturated fatty acids from the solid saturated fatty acids.
• APPLICATIONS - Carmel’s Stearic acid is a widely used ingredient in personal care products such as moisturizers, sunscreens, makeup, soap, and baby lotion. It is also found in adhesives, lubricants, laundry products and paper products. This emulsifier, emollient, and lubricant softens skin and helps keep products from separating. Studies have also shown that stearic acid may have the potential to aid in the healing of burns.
• VEGETABLE BASED - Our stearic acid is derived from vegetable oil, making it animal cruelty free, and safe for vegan based cosmetic products.
