Stearic Acid For Soap Making – 250g – Tripple Pressed – Cosmetic Grade – Plant Based
Stearic Acid is an essential ingredient in soap making, widely valued for its ability to create harder, longer-lasting bars with a rich, creamy lather. This triple-pressed, plant-derived stearic acid is a premium-grade fatty acid that enhances both performance and texture in cold process, hot process, and melt-and-pour soaps.
Used as a hardening and lather-stabilizing agent, stearic acid helps prevent soaps from becoming soft or mushy when exposed to water, while adding luxurious creaminess to the foam. It also acts as a mild emollient, offering skin-softening benefits and improving the overall feel of the soap.
When formulating, note that stearic acid can cause the mixture to thicken quickly—especially in hot process soap—so it should be incorporated with care to maintain your desired consistency.
