Stearic Acid vs Emulsifying Wax
Nowadays, there are things related to stearic acid and emulsified wax. Compared with the two, each has its own characteristics.
Stearic acid is hard and often solid, white and has a certain luster. In various processes, it is often used as an excipient, which can make the material have a specific shape and can adjust the texture. In the oil system, it can help stabilize and prevent the separation of oil.
Emulsified wax has excellent emulsification ability. It can make the oil phase and water phase uniformly miscible to form a stable emulsion. In many products, such as cream emulsions, it can ensure uniform dispersion and fine texture.
Although stearic acid has the ability to stabilize oil, its emulsification effect is not as good as that of emulsified wax. Emulsified wax has outstanding performance in forming stable emulsions. However, stearic acid also has its unique function in regulating texture and shaping.
Looking at the application of the two, when making creams, if the texture is stiff and the shape is stable, stearic acid may be the preferred choice; if the emulsion is stable and evenly dispersed, emulsified wax is more suitable.
In general, stearic acid and emulsified wax have their own strengths. When applying, according to the needs, consider carefully and make good choices to achieve the best effect.
