Calcium Stearate 25 kg

Calcium Stearate for dry texture control in powders sticks and solid cosmetics

Calcium Stearate, INCI Calcium Stearate, is a calcium salt of stearic acid used as a functional auxiliary ingredient in cosmetic and technical formulations. In beauty products, it is most relevant to loose powders, pressed makeup, dry masks, sticks, balms and selected emulsion systems. Its role is connected with powder flow, dry slip, adhesion, texture and physical structure.

Powder and color cosmetic use

Calcium Stearate can be combined with rice powder, tapioca starch, kaolin, sericite, mica, mineral pigments and other cosmetic fillers. In loose powders, it supports the handling and application profile of the powder base. In pressed makeup, it becomes part of the system that affects pickup, payoff and pan strength.

Pigments should be dispersed carefully through premixing. Calcium Stearate cannot correct poor pigment distribution, so color uniformity must be controlled during manufacturing.

Sticks and anhydrous products

In sticks and balms, Calcium Stearate can help modify the dry finish and texture of the product. It should be dispersed into the lipid phase with waxes, butters, oils and emollients.

It does not replace the wax system. Stick hardness, glide and stability are created by the complete combination of waxes, oils, powders and cooling conditions.

Emulsions and solid cleansing concepts

In creams, Calcium Stearate can act as a texture modifier, but it is not a primary emulsifier. In soap or solid cleansing products, it should not be treated as a direct replacement for stearic acid or sodium stearate.

Dry cleansing powder 1000 g

Rice powder 320 g
Tapioca starch 210 g
Kaolin 170 g
Colloidal oat powder 120 g
Calcium Stearate 65 g
Sericite 55 g
Inulin 25 g
Dry aloe extract 15 g
Allantoin 10 g
Satin mica 10 g

Total batch weight: 1000 g

Sieve all dry ingredients as needed. Blend rice powder, tapioca starch, kaolin and colloidal oat powder until uniform. Prepare a premix of Calcium Stearate, sericite, inulin, dry aloe extract, allantoin and satin mica.

Add the premix gradually to the main powder base and blend until the full batch is uniform. Avoid moisture and do not heat the powder blend.

Fill the finished product into dry, moisture-protective packaging. For use, a small portion can be mixed with water or hydrosol immediately before application to form a fresh paste. The prepared paste should not be stored.

Quality control

Products containing Calcium Stearate should be evaluated for powder flow, uniformity, particle feel, color consistency, package dispensing and application. Sticks require additional testing for hardness, glide and structural stability.

Calcium Stearate is valuable when the formulator needs to control dry texture, powder behavior and solid product structure. Its best performance comes from proper premixing, balanced fillers and finished product testing.
