Description:

Glyceryl Stearate is a self-emulsifying agent and the monoester of glycerin and stearic acid. It is soluble in oil and can come in either flake or powder form, depending on supplier availability. This emulsifier is widely used in skincare and haircare products to stabilize and thicken formulations, helping to create smooth, consistent textures in your products.

Key Features:

• Self-Emulsifying: Glyceryl Stearate has the unique ability to emulsify oil and water phases without the need for additional emulsifiers. It ensures stable and uniform formulations, even in varying conditions.

• Oil-Soluble: It is soluble in oil, making it ideal for the oil phase of emulsions. This ensures better integration into your formulations, whether in creams, lotions, or hair care products.

• Versatile Form: Available in both flake and powder form, offering flexibility depending on supplier availability and formulation needs.

• Stabilizing & Thickening: Glyceryl Stearate helps stabilize emulsions, preventing phase separation, and thickens formulas to improve texture and feel.

How to Use:

Add Glyceryl Stearate to the oil phase of your formula at a concentration of 10%. It has a melting point of 55°C, so it should be added while the oil phase is being heated. Once fully melted, it will help emulsify the mixture and create a smooth, uniform emulsion.

Applications:

• Moisturizing Creams & Lotions: Glyceryl Stearate helps create rich, smooth formulations, enhancing texture and providing moisture retention.

• Hair Care Products: Ideal for conditioners and styling creams, helping to emulsify oils and water, resulting in a creamy, manageable texture.

Benefits:

• Emulsification: Ensures a stable emulsion by emulsifying the oil and water phases.
• Texture Improvement: Contributes to a thicker, smoother texture, enhancing the product feel.
• Stabilization: Prevents phase separation, ensuring long-lasting stability in your formulations.
