Stearic acid is a colourless and waxy solid that has a mild odour. It is soluble in oil but very little dissolves in water. Stearic acid helps the soap form a rich lather that feels smooth and silky. The exact property makes it a perfect model for use in shaving foams. Stearic acid supports in hardening of products such as soap bars and candles. The occlusive properties of stearic acid help the skin stay hydrated by stopping or slowing moisture loss from the skin. Stearic acid acts as an effective stabilizer, thickener, and softener in emulsions. It is also utilized for a pearly finish to the lubricants. The commercial product is a combination of palmitic, stearic acid, and oleic acid. Stearic acid benefits the product by enhancing shelf-life stability as a base for cosmetics. Powerful cleansing and surfactant nature that help remove oil and dirt from the skin would strengthen the demand for stearic acid in cosmetic and detergent applications. Stearic acid is used so that emulsions do not get separated into isolated layers of water and oil. It helps in enhancing a product's effectiveness as well as its shelf life. Stearic acid helps to eliminate excess oil, sweat, and grime from skin and hair. This cleansing property makes it beneficial to add in the formulations for soap bars, face & body washes, shampoos, and detergents.

Hazards related to consumption of higher product concentration are hampering market growth. The consumption of higher product concentrations leads to liver toxicity, cancer, and skin damage in humans and animals. Pregnant women and those with sensitive skin are advised not to use stearic acid raw material without a physician's consultation. Magnesium stearate in large doses causes liver toxicity and damage to the skin. Such factors are going to hamper the market.
