• High Purity (typically 95%–99%)

• Vegetable-based & Biodegradable

• White, fine powder or flakes with mild odor

• Excellent hardening & thickening properties

• Improves opacity, texture, gloss, and stability

• Versatile for multiple industries

Applications

1. Candle Making

Stearic acid is an essential additive in candle production:

• Increases candle hardness

• Improves burning time and opacity

• Reduces shrinkage for molded candles

• Enhances fragrance retention

• Helps candles release easily from molds

Widely used for pillar candles, votives, tealights, and decorative molded candles.

2. Cosmetics & Personal Care

Stearic acid acts as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener in skincare and beauty products:

• Creams & lotions

• Shaving creams

• Soaps & cleansing bars

• Makeup formulations

It provides a smooth, creamy texture and helps emulsify oil and water phases.

3. Rubber & Plastics Industry

• Lubricant and release agent in rubber processing

• Improves flexibility and integrity in polymer formulations

• Acts as a dispersing agent for fillers and pigments

4. Pharmaceutical & Food Applications

(Depending on grade)

• Tablet coatings

• Lubricant in capsule manufacturing

• Food-grade emulsifiers and stabilizers
