COMMENTS: I use stearic acid in my recipe for whipped soap/shaving soap from scratch, and I bought a large bag of this but I wish I hadn’t. ?? I was using stearic acid from Amazon prior to this, and that was pressed into small beads. The small beads would melt all the way when cooking my base formula for the soap, but these flakes are just not great. It doesn’t matter how long I cook my base, and it doesn’t matter how hot I cook it, I’m always left with stearic acid spots. Most of the time you can’t feel them, but some of the time you can and when that happens I can’t sell it. It does thicken the product but it just doesn’t melt.

"Good thickener, Lot's of drag"
COMMENTS: Did does what it is supposed to do. Works well as a co-emulsifier and thickener. And the price for the amount you get is amazing. It realy does make a thick cream consistency. My only complaint wasn't worth taking off a star since that's just how the product is. I wasn't fond of the drag. I prefer cetyl alcohol over this because it has more glide and slip.
Again, that's just a characteristic of stearic acid that you can't really change. Some people can't even tell there is drag. It's probably something you notice more after using cetyl alcohol. It works well when you want a product you can feel for hours after you've put it on. A little goes a long way. I would recommend it in a foot cream or lotion meant for winter. Combine it with cetyl alcohol if you want more options.
I plan on trying to make my own foaming bath whip with it. And maybe combine it with carnauba wax to make a lip balm that isn't as hard but with some decent staying power (and a creamier consistency). Stearic acid is a staple in making lotions. I recommend having either stearic or cetyl alcohol in your lotion making pantry. Either one is essential. Both gives more options.
