Why MASCID® 1800 for cosmetics?
The excellent refatting, smoothing and soothing properties make stearic acid the ideal conditioning ingredient for sensitive skin. As a rheology modifier, it ensures the ideal consistency in high-quality cosmetic formulations.
For Candle Making
Properties as candle wax ("stearin")
- Melts at 54–57 °C – ideal for pouring temperatures and long burn time
- Dimensionally stable – withstands high temperatures (e.g. summer heat) without deformation
- Matt & crystalline – opaque surface with a characteristic fine crystal structure
- Enhances colour intensity – intensifies the effect of candle dyes
- Minimal dripping & sooting – with the correct wick selection
- Natural wax – main component or additive for candles
In candle making, stearic acid is commonly referred to as stearin. It serves as a main component or additive for wax candles and ensures professional results with a matt surface and stable shape.
To achieve an even stronger crystallisation effect, which is typical of stearic acid, MASCID 1802 (with a higher stearic acid content) can be used in candles.
