Product Info:
Glyceryl Stearate is a mild, skin-conditioning emulsifier and stabilizer commonly used in skincare and haircare formulations. It helps blend oil and water phases to create smooth, creamy, and stable emulsions while also acting as a skin-softening agent. It improves product spreadability and provides a silky, non-greasy feel. Glyceryl Stearate is widely used in lotions, creams, body butters, and hair conditioners for its moisturizing and texture-enhancing properties.

Formulation Guidelines:

  • Best melted into the oil phase of formulations.
  • Suitable for creams, lotions, body butters, serums, and hair conditioners.
  • Can be combined with emulsifiers like Emulsifying Wax NF or Cetearyl Alcohol for added stability.
  • Works best when heated to 55°C – 65°C (131°F – 149°F) for proper emulsification.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain stability.
