## Description

Vegetable-based, non-animal derived product - 2-Year Shelf-Life from the date of manufacture kept at ambient temperatures unopened. - No Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) * Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy/Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE/TSE) free * No animal testing performed on/during any part of the product process * Peanut, tree nut, wheat, grain, dairy, eggs, fish and gluten free * No Residual Solvents * Registered for REACh * Refer to MSDS as a guideline for Safety, Handling and Storage information Stearic acid is the naturally occurring fatty acid that is a waxy solid and comes in forms of flakes or beads (form does not affect product's quality). Stearic acid is one of the most common saturated fatty acids found in nature after palmitic acid and has an enormous variety of uses as an ingredient in cosmetics and industrial products. It is extracted from vegetable fats and some oils (mostly palm or coconut). It is also used as a lubricant (in shaving crèmes and deodorants), to change the consistency and melting temperature of a product (in candles, lotions). Stearic acid is extensively utilized in the production of candles. It is used to harden the wax and strengthen the candle. It also has an impact on the melting point of the wax, improving the durability and consistency of the candle. Stearic acid is also used in the production of soap; it hardens soaps. It gives products (shampoos/body washes, crèmes) a pearly color when used in combination with lye (NaOH or similar products

Review: Perfect for Candles - This stearic acid hardens really easily, so just be aware of that when you use it. The material is naturally waxy and crumbly. It works especially well for hardening candles, and it keeps the ingredients together well. It keeps products hard and solid. I just used it in my soy wax candles with essential oils, rose petals powder, mica, rose petals, and pink himalayan salt. It works beautifully!
Review: Muy bueno

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I received my order. There is no instructions how to use and how much to use for liquid soap and face lotion?**
A: For lotion or cream, you add it with your oils. Start low and work your way up.
The amount you want to use will be a personal preference. 
How thick you want it to be. The more, the thicker it will be. If it's just to thicken a lotion a little bit, around 1%, if you want a really thick, about 5%.

Recommended - Lotions: 1-3%, Cream 10-25%, Melt & Pour Soaps: 3%, Candles: 9-12%, 

***We’re not sure about using Stearic Acid in liquid soap since it is insoluble in water.

**Q: Can I use this to thicken my hand sanitizer?**
A: I can’t be of any help, I didn’t use it for that purpose.

**Q: How do you use it to make a natural lipstick?**
A: I don’t know about that. I use it to make bar soap

**Q: What percent is recommended when making a cleansing balm?**
A: 3%

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We use this to dispose of used cooking oil and it works great (and cheaply)!
*by S***R on January 26, 2024*

You may have seen commercial products that you can mix with used cooking oil to solidify it for disposal - well, virtually all of them have stearic acid as their primary, and sometimes only, ingredient. I have a stainless steel filtered gallon container that I use to keep oil for deep frying re-use, and I typically use each gallon of oil 3-6 times before disposing of it depending on what's been cooked. Disposing of the oil is always a pain in the butt - we're out in the country on a septic system so would never send it down the drain. I know some people freeze it and/or ziploc bag it and put it in their trash, but in the Texas heat it would thaw and potentially leak making for a HUGE, stinky, bug-and-scavenger-attracting mess. I started looking at the retail products for solidifying oil and found that they all depend on stearic acid. I then found that Consumer Reports tested and found that stearic acid works similarly to the commercial products for a much lower cost, so I gave it a try - and it works! When it's time to dispose of the oil, after cooking while it's till warm I had 2 to 3 tablespoons of stearic acid per cup of oil and set the pan aside to cool and solidify. After a few hours the oil has congealed into a gel which I can then dispose of directly in the trash, or sometimes bag it in a ziploc to ensure no gross out-squeezings. Overall I'm very happy with this product for oil disposal and highly recommend it.
