Mystic Moments Stearic Acid Wax 1Kg | Vegan GMO Free

Although Stearic Acid is called an acid it is very different to lactic and fruit acids in as much as it is a waxy solid; It is obtained from Palm Oil and used as a wax component in creams to provide increased consistency and skin protection; It may also be reacted with an alkali to form a soap as an emulsifier (Alkali such as Sodium Hydroxide with the Stearic Acid would give you Sodium Stearate and Water); Stearic Acid is useful as an ingredient in making candles, soaps and cosmetics; It is used to harden soaps, particularly those made with vegetable oil, that otherwise tend to be very soft; Stearic Acid is often added to creamy cleansers to increase the viscosity, improve the skin feel and boost the creaminess of the foam; Add into the oil phase and heat thoroughly; Stearic Acid doesn't melt until 69ºC -71ºC and can cause granulation in your finished product if not properly mixed in; Our collection of Mystic Moments Waxes are available in a diverse number of sizes to suit your needs; Whether buying for yourself, a friend or a loved one, you’ll find the right product; Safety Data Sheet, IFRA Document, Allergen Document and CLP Labels are all available on request;
