Zinc Stearate

Zinc stearate is a fine white powder widely used as a lubricant, release agent, and stabilizer in industrial and cosmetic applications. Composed of zinc and stearic acid, it is non-toxic, water-repellent, and offers excellent thermal stability. In industries, zinc stearate is a key additive in plastics, rubber, and paints to improve mold release, reduce friction, and enhance texture. It also acts as a dusting agent for rubber products. For cosmetics, it ensures smooth application in powders, foundations, and makeup by preventing clumping and providing a silky feel. This multifunctional compound is FDA-approved for certain uses and complies with global safety standards. Its inert nature makes it suitable for sensitive formulations. Always verify compatibility with your specific application.
