    Zinc Stearate is a cosmetic-grade stearate used primarily in pressed powders and color cosmetics to improve slip, texture, and adhesion. It helps bind pigments together and provides a soft, velvety finish while absorbing excess oil for a matte appearance.

    • Eyeshadows and highlighters
    • Foundation powders and mineral makeup
    • Compact makeup and bronzers
    • Deodorants and personal care powders

  • Why Choose Zinc Stearate?

    Zinc Stearate provides a smooth, creamy texture to powder-based formulations and enhances pigment adhesion to the skin. It acts as a lubricant and anti-caking agent, allowing powders to blend evenly while reducing streaking and patchiness in makeup application.

    Key Benefits:

    • Improves compressibility of powders
    • Enhances pigment adhesion for longer wear
    • Provides soft focus and silky slip on skin
    • Reduces shine and absorbs excess sebum
    • Works as a dry binder in anhydrous formulations

    Usage Guidelines:

    • Recommended Use: 2% – 10% depending on formulation
    • Blend with pigments or powder base before pressing
    • Disperses well in oils or silicones for cream-to-powder hybrids
    • Keep formulation anhydrous to maintain performance

    Formulation Tips:

    • Ideal for talc-free and mica-based blends
    • Combine with magnesium stearate for added softness
    • For deodorants, blend with starches or clay powders
