Reviews

Great quality stearic acid

"If you are looking for a good item for shampoo bars, for hardening soap paste. This one does the trick. It’s one of those ingredients you’ll not want to be without. This blend is clean, uniform in size and shape. Easy to measure and to use."

— Benjamin R. (5/5)
