Zinc Stearate is a fine, white, water-insoluble powder widely used in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its lubricating, texture-enhancing, and anti-caking properties. It helps improve the slip, spreadability, and smooth feel of powder-based formulations while supporting even application on the skin. In colour cosmetics, Zinc Stearate is commonly used in face powders, pressed powders, foundations, blushes, eyeshadows, and other makeup products. It can also contribute to powder adhesion and help improve the overall sensory feel of a formulation. Its water-repellent characteristics make it useful in selected anhydrous and powder-based products.ย
