Sodium Stearate, NAS-E, Palm (RSPO-MB)
Overview
Sodium Stearate NAS-E is a palm-derived sodium salt of stearic acid manufactured by Lasenor Emul SL. Identified chemically as sodium octadecanoate, it functions as an anionic surfactant and emulsifying agent. The RSPO-MB designation indicates mass balance sourcing of palm-derived raw materials. Sodium stearate is widely used in formulation development where surface activity, emulsification, and structural properties are required.
