Potassium Stearate

The "Soft Soap" Specialist: Superior Solubility & Lubrication.

Potassium Stearate distinguishes itself from its sodium counterpart by offering higher solubility and a softer, more pliable texture. While Sodium Stearate makes hard bars, Potassium Stearate is the industry standard for creating liquid soaps, soft creams, and formulations requiring high lubricity. It delivers a gentle, non-stripping cleanse with a premium, creamy mouthfeel.

01. Personal Care: The Shaving Cream Standard

Rich Lather, Smooth Glide.

• The Shaving Essential: This is the critical ingredient in high-end shaving creams and foams. It generates a dense, micro-bubble lather that provides excellent lubrication, allowing the razor to glide smoothly across the skin to prevent irritation and cuts.

• Liquid & Soft Soaps: Ideal for formulating liquid hand soaps and mild body washes. It cleanses effectively without the "tightness" associated with hard soaps, leaving skin soft and hydrated.

• Hair Conditioning: In conditioners and hair masks, it helps smooth the hair cuticle (scales). This reduces friction between hair strands, improving detangling and boosting natural shine.

02. Cosmetic Emulsification

Stability for Creams and Lotions.

• Emulsifier & Stabilizer: Acts as a primary emulsifier in Oil-in-Water (O/W) emulsions. It is widely used in face creams and lotions to prevent separation, enhancing the product's shelf life and creating a thick, luxurious texture.

03. Industrial & Textile Performance

Protection and Flow.

• Metal Processing: Functions as a dual-action lubricant and rust inhibitor. It forms a dense protective film on metal surfaces, preventing oxidation while reducing friction during mechanical processing.

• Textile Anti-Static: A highly effective anti-static agent for fabrics. It reduces static electricity buildup during textile manufacturing, ensuring smooth processing and a comfortable finish for the fabric.

• Eco-Friendly Profile: Derived from natural fatty acids, it features good biodegradability, aligning with modern environmental compliance standards.

Why Source Potassium Stearate from Arshine?

The Right Texture for Your Formulation.

• Solubility Control: The ratio of Potassium to Stearic Acid affects solubility and clarity. Arshine supplies high-grade Potassium Stearate with precise chemical specifications, ensuring your liquid soaps remain clear and your creams stay stable.

• Purity for Leave-On Products: Since it is often used in face creams and shaving products (which stay on skin longer), purity is paramount. We provide material with low impurities to minimize any risk of skin irritation.

• Global Logistics: We understand the handling requirements of fatty acid salts. Our logistics team ensures the product is packaged to prevent caking and delivered efficiently to your facility, anywhere in the world.
