Product Overview
Stearic Acid (C18:0) is one of the most prevalent saturated long-chain fatty acids in nature. It is a white waxy solid at room temperature. Commercial grades are typically a blend of stearic and palmitic acids in varying ratios, with higher-purity grades suited to cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
