Magnesium Stearate

Magnesium stearate is a soap composed of two equivalents of stearate and one magnesium cation. Magnesium stearate comes in the form of a white powder. Its softness, insolubility in many solvents, and low toxicity make it useful in a variety of applications such as medications and cosmetics as a releasing agent as well as a component or lubricant.
