Stearic Acid
Stearic Acid is a versatile fatty acid widely used in cosmetic formulations for its ability to enhance texture, stability, and skin feel. As an emollient, it helps soften and smooth the skin, creating a comfortable, conditioned finish.
In creams and lotions, Stearic Acid provides structure and body, giving products a rich, creamy texture that spreads easily without feeling greasy. It also plays a key role in stabilizing oil-and-water emulsions, ensuring formulas stay uniform, smooth, and long-lasting.
