About Aluminum Stearate

Aluminum Stearate is the aluminum salt of stearic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to keep powder ingredients from hardening into lumps and help them flow evenly, add color to a product or application area, and help prevent water-and-oil emulsions from separating.[3] It is also used to adjust the formula’s viscosity and flow. In Europe, it may be used as a cosmetic colorant.[2]. [3]
