FECY Stearic Acid

When used in cosmetic products, stearic acid primarily fulfills the role of a thickener or hardener. Stearic acid has an eighteen carbon chain and is considered a long-chain fatty acid. Stearic acid is mainly used in the production of detergents, soaps, and cosmetics such as shampoos and shaving cream products.

Stearic acid is good for the skin as it is safe and effective. In addition, it is non-comedogenic as it does not clog skin pores and contributes to acne breakouts. This makes it suitable for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin and provides necessary hydration to the skin.

Stearic acid is a common component of skin care products. For many people, using products containing stearic acid is a safe and effective way of treating a variety of skin problems.

Stearic acid is an emollient, emulsifier, and lubricant that helps in softening the skin and making it more moisturized. It is also great for binding other ingredients together and preventing them from falling apart

Stearic Acid helps to harden products, such as candles and soap bars, helping the latter to create a rich lather that feels velvety. This property makes it ideal for use in shaving foams. With occlusive properties, it helps the skin remain hydrated by preventing or slowing moisture loss from the skin's surface
