General

What is Stearic Acid? It is a saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain, appearing as a waxy, white solid at room temperature. It's naturally found in both animal fats and vegetable oils and is widely used in various products, including candles, soaps, cosmetics, and plastics, due to its emulsifying, thickening, and lubricating properties.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Stearic Acid, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.

Frequent Uses

Emulsifier
Helps combine oil and water-based ingredients, preventing separation in products like creams and lotions.

Cosmetics
Can be found in various cosmetic products, including creams, lotions, and makeup, due to its emollient and emulsifying properties.

Candle and Soap Making
Used to harden candles, preventing them from melting too quickly, especially in pillar candles and wax melts. Provides firmness and a longer-lasting quality to soaps.
