About Magnesium Stearate

Magnesium Stearate is the magnesium salt of stearic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help powder ingredients resist clumping and flow evenly, increase the volume of a formulation and adjust the amount of solids, and add color to a product or application area.[3] It is also used to help retain moisture in the skin and reduce a dry feeling.[3] In Europe, it may be used to color cosmetics.[2]
