Stearic acid? Glycerin?

[Cheirenya]

Can I replace stearic acid? On what?

And is this glycerin suitable to creams and lotions etc? http://www.justasoap.co.uk/catalog/vege ... 1924f5716d

Sorry, I'm bit confused! I have never made any lotions or creams... So I need HELP! =D

Yes, you can replace stearic acid. There are actually a few different things you can use in place of stearic. Here is a link that shows you some different things to use:

I myself use cetyl alcohol 1 for 1 in place of stearic in my lotions with very good results.




Yes- that glycerin is fine to use.
