Description

About Sodium Stearate, Derived from Palm Oil, RSPO MB, Kosher, Halal

Sodium stearate is a sodium salt of stearic acid, which is a long-chain fatty acid (C18H35COOH). It appears as a white, waxy solid and is commonly used in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, soap-making, and as a surfactant in cleaning products.

COMMON USES AND APPLICATIONS

Soap production: It is a primary ingredient in the production of soap, where it reacts with alkali (such as sodium hydroxide) to create soap, a process called saponification.
Cosmetics and skincare: It acts as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and thickener in creams, lotions, and other cosmetic products.
Food industry: Sometimes, it is used as an emulsifier in food products, though it's typically in small amounts and under regulated conditions.
Pharmaceuticals: It may be used as a binding agent in tablets.
