Product Use |
Magnesium stearate is primarily produced by the reaction of stearic acid (a fatty acid) and magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide. This reaction creates magnesium stearate, which is then purified and dried for use in various industries. The stearic acid used in this reaction can be derived from either animal or vegetable sources. Therefore, the sourcing of magnesium stearate can vary depending on the manufacturer and their production methods.
In terms of sourcing, magnesium stearate can be found in both natural and synthetic forms. Natural magnesium stearate is derived from animal or vegetable sources, while synthetic magnesium stearate is made in a laboratory. Both forms are chemically identical and have the same properties.
