What It Is

Glyceryl Stearate is an ester of glycerin and stearic acid, commonly derived from vegetable oils. It functions as an emulsifier, helping oil and water mix, while also conditioning and protecting the skin

Why We Use It

We use Glyceryl Stearate to stabilize formulations, improve product texture, and deliver a smooth, silky feel. On the skin, it helps form a protective barrier that reduces moisture loss and leaves skin feeling soft and nourished.

Origin & How It’s Made

Glyceryl Stearate is made by reacting glycerin with stearic acid, a fatty acid typically sourced from plant oils like palm or soy. The result is a versatile, biodegradable ingredient.
