Arrived quickly Review: Good Replacement for Fry Away - I did some research after purchasing a package of Fry Away and found out that it is a fancy name for a chemical (Stearic Acid). So I found out that desertcart sells this stuff at a much discounted price. It works pretty good (especially if you have a large amount of oil you want to emulsify before throwing out). I've always hated pouring oil into a can or bag for disposal (never down the sink) and this is a convenient and clean alternative. Unfortunately the shipping company was less than careful with my shipment and split the bag open during transit. Nothing on the company that I purchased this from, but the shipper should be a little more careful. ## Features - Pure Food Grade Stearic Acid This high-quality stearic acid is NF/USP certified and derived from coconut and palm oil.

It was found to be about 47% stearic acid, about 52% palmitic acid, less than 1% myristic acid, and less than 1% arachidic acid. I understand that the processes commonly used for producing food-grade stearic acid result in a product that is about 50/50 stearic acid and palmitic acid. **Q: is this item suitable for use as emusifier/stablizer for salad dressings** A: You may not know that 33.3% of the fats in sweet chocolate and 20.5% in milk chocolate actually IS Stearic Acid...so you've likely been consuming it your whole life. Source: USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 20, 2007 **Q: Can I use this in homemade almond milk?** A: Food Grade NF/USP means you can use it in food and eat it. **Q: Is this can be added as preservative in lotion and cream** A: Its used to thicken lotion/cream. You still would need an actual broad spectrum preservative to keep your creams. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would buy again *by A***R on January 29, 2026* Great product. Arrived quickly ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Replacement for Fry Away *by J***E on September 2, 2024* I did some research after purchasing a package of Fry Away and found out that it is a fancy name for a chemical (Stearic Acid). So I found out that Amazon sells this stuff at a much discounted price. It works pretty good (especially if you have a large amount of oil you want to emulsify before throwing out).

I did a bit of research into what the main ingredients could be and found one that at least had the same properties "Stearic Acid" a quick Amazon search later and I found this listing for the raw material itself. I read a few comments of people happy with the product so I gave it a chance thinking I had nothing to lose. I used about the same pellet to oil ratio (granted by eye) and this stuff made a chunk that seemed to be even harder and more solidified making it easier to move as a brick then a soft piece of gel ## Frequently Bought Together - 1 lb Stearic Acid White Flakes Food Grade NF/USP - Natural Preservative, thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer for Food, soap, Lotion, Cream - Non-GMO Emulsifying Wax NF Pastilles (1 LBS / 16 OZ) 100% Natural Plant Derived | For Lotions, Creams, Soap Making, Hair Products | Cosmetic Grade | Product of USA | 1 POUND - SAAQIN Phenonip - Amazing Preservative Used for Lotion, Cream, Lip Balm or Body Butter 4 Oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/37839891-saaqin-stearic-acid-white-flakes-1-lb-food-grade-nf](https://www.desertcart.us/products/37839891-saaqin-stearic-acid-white-flakes-1-lb-food-grade-nf) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
