Handling and packing follow documented GMP and quality procedures, with the lot checked against specification before dispatch. Available compliance documents include COA, product specification and SDS; lot records support traceability for Hydroxystearic Acid.

Hydroxystearic Acid Functions & Applications

Hydroxystearic acid identified as 12-hydroxystearic acid is used in the development of structured oil systems. Its hydroxyl-bearing fatty-acid structure supports association within an oil phase, making it relevant to organogel and grease-thickener research. This is an oil-structuring function rather than the water-phase thickening supplied by a soluble gum. The free acid must also be distinguished from calcium or lithium hydroxystearate: converting the acid into a metal soap creates a different material with different formulation behavior. For the listed powder, the practical application depends on the selected oil and the dissolution and cooling sequence. A formulation trial must establish structure and consistency; neither a comparator's flake form nor its rheological measurements define this supply.

Hydroxystearic Acid: Overview

Hydroxystearic acid is a fatty acid derived from the hydroxylation of stearic acid. It features both hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, making it a versatile ingredient in various applications, including cosmetics, lubricants, and industrial products. In skincare and cosmetic formulations, hydroxystearic acid is used as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer, helping to blend oil and water components and enhance product texture. It also has emollient properties, which contribute to skin softness and smoothness. Due to its stability and non-toxic nature, hydroxystearic acid is commonly found in creams, lotions, and other personal care products.
