It is one of the most traditional and widely used emulsifiers in cosmetic chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What it does:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Glyceryl Stearate is a versatile, non-ionic emulsifier that has been a cornerstone of stable, elegant emulsion formulations for decades. Primary functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Primary and co-emulsifier:<\/strong> It helps bind oil and water phases into emulsions. While it can function as a primary emulsifier, it is most commonly used in synergy with other emulsifiers (like Polysorbates or Glyceryl Stearate Citrate) to create exceptionally stable and luxurious cream textures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emulsion stabilizer:<\/strong> Reinforces the emulsifier film around oil droplets, preventing coalescence and separation over time and across temperature variations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emollient:<\/strong> Contributes a soft, smooth, non-greasy after-feel to formulations, enhancing the sensory elegance of creams and lotions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opacifying and pearlizing agent:<\/strong> Imparts the characteristic creamy, opaque white appearance associated with rich moisturizers.<\/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 include Glyceryl Stearate as part of our precision emulsifier system, working in synergy with other emulsifiers and fatty alcohols to create the stable, elegant, and sensorial textures for our products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comedogenic rating:<\/strong> Rated 1-2 (low). Generally well-tolerated and non-comedogenic for most skin types.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCI: GLYCERYL STEARATEType: Emulsifier, emollient,
