Magnesium stearate is a solid, off-white powder when stored at room temperature. This chemical compound is an FDA-approved inactive ingredient that exists as a salt. It can be derived from animal or plant sources. It has a characteristic taste and a mild odor.
Magnesium stearate is primarily used as a mold release agent and as an ingredient or lubricant in the production of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food products. Its applications take advantage of its smooth, solvent-insoluble, and low-toxic properties.
With Magnesium stearate, Green Chemicals is expected to launch a new product line with codes for Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics, expected in early 2024.
