It is considered a mild, multi-functional ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What it does:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is a versatile anionic emulsifier and stabilizer known for contributing to stable, elegant textures while offering secondary skin benefits. Its primary functions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Emulsion stabilizer:<\/strong> Acts as a reliable co-emulsifier in oil-in-water (O\/W) systems, helping to create and maintain stable, creamy textures and prevent separation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>pH buffer and chelating agent:<\/strong> The citric acid moiety provides mild buffering capacity to help maintain the formula&#8217;s pH. It can act as a chelator, binding trace metals that might otherwise destabilize the product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skin conditioning:<\/strong> Imparts a soft, velvety after-feel on the skin, provides light emollient properties.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why we use it:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We use it as a supportive ingredient to ensure the long-term stability and luxurious texture of our emulsions. Its mild chelating effect also helps protect the integrity of our active ingredients, contributing to both the performance and the sensory elegance of our products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multifunctionality:<\/strong> Its combination of emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties allows for streamlined formulations, reducing the need for multiple additives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCI: GLYCERYL STEARATE CITRATEType: Emulsifier, co-emulsifier, skin conditioningOrigin: A
