Usage and Solubility of Aluminum Monostearate

Aluminum monostearate is primarily used as an oil-gelling agent and a stabilizer in various formulations. Here are the details on how to use it:

Solubility and Mixing

• Solubility: It is oil-soluble (insoluble in water).
• How to use: It must be mixed into the oil phase of your formulation.
• Heating: To effectively dissolve and form a gel, it typically requires heating (around 80-90°C) while stirring continuously until the mixture becomes homogeneous.

Key Functions

• Thickening Agent: It increases the viscosity of oils, creating a thicker or gel-like texture.
• Stabilizer: It helps prevent the separation of oil and water phases in creams and lotions.
• Waterproofing: In makeup products like lipsticks and foundations, it improves durability and provides water-resistant properties.
