Glyceryl Stearate
Definition
Glyceryl Stearate is a versatile ingredient used as an emulsifier and emollient in skincare formulations. It helps to stabilize and blend oil and water-based ingredients, resulting in a smooth and well-mixed product. As an emollient, Glyceryl Stearate forms a protective barrier on the skin, reducing moisture loss and keeping the skin hydrated. It also enhances the skin's texture and appearance, promoting a more even skin tone. Glyceryl Stearate has a dual mechanism of function: it improves the spreadability and absorption of products on the skin while providing moisturizing benefits. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
