Product application:
Moisturizing: Stearic acid is generally used to make skin care products or topical ointments. After being applied to the skin, it can form a protective film, effectively preventing water loss from the skin and thus achieving the effect of moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
Anti-aging: Stearic acid also has a certain antioxidant effect, which can effectively prevent the formation of skin wrinkles and thus also slow down the rate of skin aging.
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory: Skin ointment made from stearic acid, when applied to the skin, can have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, effectively alleviating discomforts such as redness, swelling and pain caused by skin infections. For instance, it has a significant therapeutic effect on skin redness, swelling, pain and other symptoms caused by seborrheic dermatitis.
Emulsification: Stearic acid can be uniformly dissolved in warm water above 80ºC, forming a paste-like white substance. This white substance can be used to treat skin diseases. It is usually an emulsified solid and can be used to treat dermatitis, exudation on the skin surface, erosion, redness and swelling, heat and pain, anti-inflammation, sterilization, etc. It can also form micelles and has multiple functions such as decontamination, fat emulsification, washing, wetting and soaking, anti-aging, and anti-oxidation.
As a lubricant and anti-sticking agent: Stearic acid can be used as a lubricant and anti-sticking agent, especially suitable for the production of oils, because the particles made from stearic acid have relatively good fluidity and compressibility.
Other uses: Stearic acid can also be used as a solvent for oil-soluble pigments, a lubricant for crayons, a polishing agent for wax paper, and an emulsifier for stearic acid glycerides, etc. It is used in the food industry as a lubricant, defoamer and raw material for food additives such as stearate glycerol, stearate sorbitan ester and sucrose ester.
