LFA Excipients by Function

Magnesium stearate is a fine white powder. Its main purpose is providing an effective dry lubricant for capsules and tablets. Made from palm and cottonseed oil, a common fatty acid. LFA’s Magnesium Stearate is an inactive ingredient.

Sticky ingredients can damage equipment over time. Magnesium Stearate acts as a dry lubricant and anti-adherent, preventing powders from caking, clumping, or sticking to machine parts, including dosators, tamping pins, and blending mixer tank walls.

Magnesium Stearate helps decrease friction between tablet surface and die wall during machine operation. Reduce excessive ejection forces that can cause tablet capping and lamination. Fix formulation-related sticking and picking on embossed tablets.

Works as a glidant, or a flow aid by reducing inter-particle friction between solid particles that stick together into clumps. Improves powder feeding into roller compactors during dry granulation. Compatible with other excipients such as silicon dioxide to increase flow of fine ingredients.

Outside of solid dose manufacturing, magnesium stearate provides slip and anti-caking in mineral makeup and odor absorption in natural deodorants. Functions as a non-gelling thickener or bulk agent in skincare creams and lotions.
