Metallic stearates are metal salts of stearic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. Common types include zinc stearate, calcium stearate, and magnesium stearate. These compounds are typically white powders, insoluble in water but soluble in oils and organic solvents.
Functionality in Personal Care Products
Thickening Agents: Metallic stearates contribute to the viscosity and texture of creams and lotions. Their hydrophobic nature allows them to create stable emulsions, enhancing the consistency of the product.Lubricants: In pressed powders and makeup, metallic stearates act as lubricants, improving the spreadability and feel of the product on the skin.
Anti-caking Agents: These compounds prevent the agglomeration of powders, ensuring a smooth, free-flowing product.
Applications
Makeup Powder: Zinc stearate is commonly used to improve texture and application.
Deodorant: Calcium stearate enhances the structure and stability of stick deodorants.
Kemamide® Amides
Kemamide® amides are a group of erucamide- or oleamide-based compounds known for their excellent slip, lubricity, and antiblocking properties. These amides are typically derived from fatty acids and are solid at room temperature.
Functionality in Personal Care Products
Slip Agents: Kemamide® amides improve the spreadability and tactile properties of products, providing a silky, nongreasy feel.Antiblocking Agents: They prevent the adhesion of product layers, essential in formulations like lipsticks and certain creams.
Viscosity Modifiers: These compounds help in adjusting the viscosity of formulations, ensuring a smooth, consistent application.
Applications
Lipstick: Kemamide® amides enhance smooth application and prevent sticking.
Cream and Lotion: They improve the tactile feel and spreadability of the product.
Hair Care: Used in conditioners and styling products to provide a soft, silky finish.
Conclusion
Metallic stearates and Kemamide® amides are integral components in the formulation of personal care products. Their unique properties and functionalities help create products that are effective, stable, and appealing to consumers. As the personal care industry evolves, these ingredients will remain crucial in developing innovative and high-performance products.
