Stearic Acid

Other names: Stearic acid

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)


Stearic acid, also known as stearic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with seventeen carbon atoms. Its name is derived from the Greek word "stear", meaning "fat", and like other fatty acids, it occurs naturally in fatty substances. It is a white, waxy substance that is soluble in fats and oils but almost insoluble in water. Stearic acid is used in a wide range of industrial and consumer products.

One of the main industries that relies on stearic acid is the cosmetics industry. In fact, this substance is often used in the manufacture of various cosmetic products. For example, in facial roses or powders, stearic acid helps to improve their consistency, increase their durability and improve their adhesion to the skin. It is also used in the manufacture of soaps, where it acts as a skin and hair conditioner. Stearic acid is also found in the food industry as additive E570. It is used as a stabiliser, thickener, but also as a coating for confectionery or to improve the consistency of doughs. It is also found in some cleaning products, candles, plastics and many other products.
