Overview
Sodium stearate is a vegetable-based multifunctional ingredient.
One of its functions is being an emulsifier, in which it helps produce oil-in-water emulsions. Generally, sodium stearate is paired with a primary emulsifier, such as cetearyl glucoside, in order to create these emulsions.
This water-soluble ingredient is also a viscosity controlling agent, where it can form a gel in the water phase. In addition, sodium stearate can function as a cleansing agent. It is very mild in its cleansing and is normally used alongside more powerful cleansers, such as sulfates and betaines.
Sodium stearate is supplied as a free-flowing white powder.
