Used to bind, stabilize and harden soap bars and candles. The question asked by many is: Use stearic acid or sodium lactate for a harder bar of soap? Too much stearic can make your soap seize. Stearic acid requires the warm oil to melt the stearic acid. But it's easy to formulate (you can enter it in the lye calculator), and it gives you luscious bubbles! Also, it seems to speed trace.
If you are a slow swirler, stearic quickens the trace time. Sodium lactate does affect the trace. The stearic seems to add more stable bubbles. The SL just makes a harder bar.
Its soap-like quality enables it to penetrate the skin, providing emollient and skin-softening properties. It is also used to emulsify, thicken, or otherwise bind and stabilize lotions and creams as well as an addition to candles.
Triple Pressed Stearic Acid is used in a multitude of products that we use every day like shaving cream, cosmetics, medicines, skin care products, soaps, detergents, and candles. It is also used in the manufacturing process of many more products because this renewable fatty acid is extremely versatile. It is non-GMO, allergen free, BSE free, and from RSPO (Round table on Sustainable Palm Oil) certified producers.

I am sure this product will work perfectly for my shampoo bars, but the amount of packaging for each item I bought was crazy. The main reason for making my own soap products is to save on packaging, but now I have created even more than if I bought shampoo in containers! Each bottle is taped on the lid and then also comes in a thick vacuum sealed bag. Ziplog bags of stearic acid were double bagged in thick plastic. So wasteful and so disappointing
We can appreciate your concerns, however we cannot chance the product spilling into the box as couriers are very hasty when delivering packages and it comes back on us. We do try and use recycling materials when at all possible. If you prefer less packaging on your orders, mention it on your order. If there is a spill you will be responsible Sharon.
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed Vegetable
Worked very well in my diy lotion!
excellent worked very well in my shampoo syndet bars
Could you make a kit or recomend a recipe without baking soda! The glycerine based ones don't seem to wrk and I've only found 1 company that does it right called attitude. Anyway would be a market for it for sure✔✔
This is my third purchase of these jars. They are perfect for lip balms and luminizers.
Got here in no time , filled ready for market week after I placed the order.
This is a must have ingredient in some of my water-based formulations. Thx for having it available!
This scent is truly exceptional. Its dreamy quality makes it a joy to use, and when I added it to a lotion base, the result was fantastic. One of the best things about this scent is that it's very potent, so only a small amount is needed to achieve a nice, strong fragrance.
