Description
Sodium Stearate OP-100 V is a vegetable-derived Sodium Stearate consisting primarily of the sodium salts of saturated C16 & C18 fatty acids. This fine white powder is used as a gelling agent in deodorant sticks (4 – 8%) as a component of bar soaps (5 – 20%) and as a co-emulsifier (<1%). Originally designed for alcohol-based deodorant sticks, it remains the preferred grade of Sodium Stearate for maximum stick clarity. Hasten its dissolution by adding it to hot water (>80°C).
