Sodium stearate is also known as sodium octadecanoic
Sodium stearate is made by reacting stearic acid with sodium hydroxide.
When saponified, sodium stearate is produced.
In skin care, sodium stearate is typically used to thicken, lubricate, control viscosity and prevent separation of ingredients.
It is often found in deodorant, toothpaste, soap, makeup, body wash, facial cleanser, shampoo and shampoos.
Sodium stearate is also used as a binder and anti-caking agent in food products.

The sodium salt of stearic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid, is used as a pharmaceutical adjuvant in ointments, creams, and suppositories.
It can stabilize an emulsion in lotions.
It is also found in many personal care products such as soap, deodorant, eye shadow, shaving cream, and some foods and flavors.
Sodium stearate has a long history of safe use in cosmetics.
Sodium stearate is considered safe for food products by the FDA.
Sodium stearate is the sodium salt of stearic acid.
Sodium stearate is the most common soap.
It is found in many types of solid deodorants, rubber, latex paints, and inks.
Sodium stearate is a component of food sweeteners.
Sodium stearate, characteristic of soaps, has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, namely carboxylate and long hydrocarbon chain, respectively.
These two chemically distinct components present their hydrophilic heads outwards and hydrophobic tails inwards, making for hydrophobic compounds.
Sodium stearate induces the formation of micelles that provide a lipophilic environment.
The tail part dissolves oil (or) dirt and forms micelles.
It is also a surfactant in the pharmaceutical industry to aid in the solubility of hydrophobic compounds in the production of various mouth foams.
Sodium stearate is produced as the main component of soap by the saponification of oils and fats.
The percentage of sodium stearate depends on the fats in the content.
Tallow is especially high in stearic acid content.
( C18H35O2 ) 3C3H5 + 3 NaOH → C3H5 ( OH ) 3 + 3 C18H35O2Na
Purified sodium stearate can be made by neutralizing stearic acid with sodium hydroxide.

Sodium stearate is the fatty acid salt most commonly found in today's soaps.
Common sources of the starting material stearic acid are vegetable triglycerides from coconut and palm oils.
Sodium stearate is animal triglycerides derived from tallow.
The names stearic and stearate are derived from the Greek word stéar, meaning tallow.
