Stearic Acid

Stearic acid is a naturally occurring saturated fatty acid found in animal fats and vegetable oils (commonly palm or coconut). It’s primarily used in skincare and cosmetic formulations as a thickener and emulsifying agent, helping to stabilize oil and water blends.

This waxy solid contributes a rich, creamy consistency to creams, lotions, and conditioners.

It helps harden and bind ingredients, making products more durable, heat-resistant, and long-lasting while aiding in fragrance retention.
