Application | Stearic acid is widely used in cosmetics as a thickener and hardener, helping to shape soaps. Also used as a surfactant, stearic acid has a powerful cleaning power that helps reduce the surface tension of water, allowing it to mix with oil and dirt on the skin's surface, making them loose and easily washed away. Stearic acid can also be used as an emulsifier, meaning that it can be combined with other substances (such as oil and water) that are usually separate and incompatible to keep cleansers smooth and milky. | ||||||
