{"product_id":"stearic-acid-iii-pressed-slab-china","title":"Stearic Acid III Pressed Slab (China) – Cosmetic \u0026 Soap Grade","description":"\u003cp\u003eStearic Acid III Pressed Slab is one of those foundational ingredients that quietly underpins some of the most beloved products in cosmetics, soap making, and candle crafting. Derived from natural vegetable and animal fat sources and pressed into solid slabs for clean, easy handling, this high-purity fatty acid brings structure, stability, and a luxuriously smooth texture to everything it touches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a cream or lotion, it’s the ingredient that gives the formula its body — that satisfying richness that spreads evenly and feels substantial without being heavy. In a bar of soap, it’s what makes the bar firm, long-lasting, and satisfying to hold. In a candle, it hardens the wax and extends burn time. A true multi-tasker that earns its place in every formulator’s toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffective Emulsifier\u003c\/strong\u003e – acts as a co-emulsifier to help blend oil and water phases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickening Agent\u003c\/strong\u003e – builds viscosity and body in creams, lotions \u0026amp; emulsions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStabilizer\u003c\/strong\u003e – prevents phase separation and improves shelf stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardening Agent\u003c\/strong\u003e – adds firmness and longevity to soaps and candles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture Enhancer\u003c\/strong\u003e – contributes a smooth, creamy, rich finish to formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCosmetics \u0026amp; Personal Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreams, lotions \u0026amp; body butters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleansers \u0026amp; emulsions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHair conditioners \u0026amp; styling products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSoap Making\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBar soaps \u0026amp; handmade soap formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiquid soaps (as co-ingredient)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCandle Making\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves hardness and extends burn time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhances structural stability of wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIndustrial\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber \u0026amp; plastic processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLubricants \u0026amp; protective coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Usage Levels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUsage Level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCreams \u0026amp; Lotions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2% – 5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoap Making\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3% – 10%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCandles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5% – 20%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjust percentage based on desired thickness, hardness, and texture of the final product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stearic Acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid pressed slabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White to off-white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable \/ animal origin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emulsifier, thickener, stabilizer, hardening agent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cosmetic \u0026amp; Industrial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormulation Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelt fully in the oil phase before emulsification — it blends most effectively when fully liquefied.
