SZ Stearic Acid, 3 lb (Triple Pressed). for DIY Soaps, Candles, Cosmetics or Any Craft Project.
Description
Stearic acid is naturally occurring fatty acid that is a waxy solid and comes
in forms of flakes or beads (form does not affect product’s quality). Stearic
acid is one of the most common saturated fatty acids found in nature after
palmitic acid and has an enormous variety of uses as an ingredient in
cosmetics and industrial products. It is extracted from vegetable fats and
some oils (mostly palm or coconut). It is also used as a lubricant (in shaving
crèmes and deodorants), to change the consistency and melting temperature of a
product (in candles, lotions). Stearic acid is extensively utilized in the
production of candles. It is used to harden the wax and strengthen the candle.
It, also, has an impact on the melting point of the wax, improving the
durability and consistency of the candle. In addition, stearic acid is used in
the production of soap; it hardens soaps. It gives products (shampoos/body
washes, crèmes) a pearly color when used in a combination with lye (NaOH or
similar products to raise pH). Improves consistency of the finished products.
