Magnesium stearate is a chemical compound commonly used in the cosmetics industry due to its emulsifying and absorbent properties. This substance is obtained from magnesium salts and vegetable fatty acids, such as stearic acid.

The origin of magnesium stearate dates back to the 1920s when it was discovered that the combination of stearic acid and magnesium salt produced a white, smooth substance that could be used as a lubricant or anti-adherent agent in food and drug formulations.

The properties of magnesium stearate include its ability to stabilise emulsions and suspend particles, as well as improve the texture and feel of cosmetic products. Additionally, this substance is known for its ability to absorb moisture and reduce clumping, making it an ideal ingredient in powders and makeup.

Common applications and uses of magnesium stearate in the cosmetics industry include the manufacture of creams, lotions, lip balms, facial and body powders, eyeshadows, and foundation.

The method of obtaining magnesium stearate involves the reaction of stearic acid and a magnesium salt, such as magnesium chloride, in the presence of a neutralising agent, such as sodium hydroxide, until a smooth, white suspension is formed. It is then filtered and dried to obtain the final powder.

Magnesium stearate is identified on cosmetics ingredient labels as "magnesium stearate" and is registered in the INCI database under the same name. Its CAS number is 557-04-0.

The main components of magnesium stearate are stearic acid and magnesium salt, although its composition may vary depending on the source of fatty acids and salts used in its production. In general, it is considered a safe and non-toxic ingredient for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
