What is Magnesium stearate?


Magnesium stearate is a magnesium salt of stearic acid, a fatty acid found naturally in vegetable oils and animal fats. It is mainly used as an anti-caking agent because it absorbs moisture and improves the texture of products.

In addition, it makes powders easier to process and prevents them from clumping together. It gives cosmetic products, such as makeup, a silky finish.


Magnesium stearate also acts as a thickening and stabilizing agent, often adding it to creams, lotions, and makeup for an even and pleasant application.

What are the benefits of Magnesium Stearate?


Silky soft feel on the skin
The powder has a unique, soft texture that provides a velvety finish on the skin. This makes it very suitable for make-up, such as face powders, foundations and blushes, where a smooth and natural look is nice.

Adheres well to the skin
Due to its good adhesion to the skin, Magnesium Stearate is often used for making make-up such as face powders. Products such as foundation and blush last longer.

Matte finish
Magnesium stearate helps absorb excess oil on the skin, creating a matte appearance, ideal for oily skin products.

Anti-caking agent
It prevents powders from clumping together, which ensures even distribution and better shelf life of products.

Water-repellent
Magnesium stearate is hydrophobic (water-repellent), which means it absorbs moisture and improves the texture of dry formulas. This makes it an essential ingredient for powdered products, such as eyeshadow and blush.
