What do I need to do to ensure the magnesium stearage mixes in? Do I need to use an electric blender, increase the temperature, whisk for X period of time? Thank you. "

"Would this perform a similar function as sodium stearate in a deodorant formulation. Currently I use the sodium stearate as a gelling agent along with 1,3 propandiol to create my stick base. Considering it is another salt form of stearic acid and a metal soap I would gather with would function similarly. "

"I tried formulating deoderant with magnesium stearate, magnesium hydroxide & zinc ricinoleate along with babassu & other oils; it has almost a sticky feel to it. Do you think it's a result of this product (stearate), the zinc ricinoleate, or magnesium hydroxide; and would increasing or decreasing any of those percentages alleviate the problem? "
