Q&A

Can this be used in liquid hair conditioner?: Yes, Stearic Acid is often used in small amounts as a fatty thickener to boost viscosity and richness.
I've seen answers saying you can add 3% stearic acid to MP soap to make it harder and other answers that say you don't recommend using stearic acid in MP soap. Which is the correct answer?: You can use stearic acid in M&P soap to make it harder.
Where is the origination of this saturated fatty acid, vegetable or animal fats? If animal please specific on which animal.: We state that this is tripe-pressed palm under the Additional Information tab on the product's store page. It is derived soley from palm.
Do you not offer for sale the 16 oz anymore??: Not at this time. The product is in short supply at the moment. Once our manufacture can produce more we will add the larger sizes back to the website.
