Stearic Acid is a white, waxy, natural fatty acid widely used in hand creams and lotions, protective creams and soaps (among many other products). It is the major ingredient used in making bar soap and lubricants, and is an emollient, emulsifier and thickener.

Glyceryl Stearate is an emulsifier, emollient and thickener. See glycerin.

Sucrose is sugar, a preservative, antioxidant, exfoliant, demulcent and substitute for glycerin. It is a monosaccharide and as such has water-binding properties.
