About Zinc Stearate

Zinc Stearate is the zinc salt of stearic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help powder ingredients flow evenly without hardening into clumps, add color to the product or area of application, and control the viscosity and flow of the formula.[3] In Europe, it may be used to color cosmetics.[2]
