Glyceryl Stearate

Glyceryl Stearate is a versatile nonionic emulsifier, co-emulsifier, and emollient used to build stable creams and lotions. It improves body, spreadability, and after-feel while helping oil and water phases form a uniform emulsion.

Overview

Product Specifications

  • INCI Name: Glyceryl Stearate
  • Grade: Monoester content and free-glycerin limits vary by commercial grade
  • Appearance: White to off-white waxy flakes, beads, or powder
  • Solubility: Oil-dispersible; insoluble in water
  • Key Function: Emulsifier, co-emulsifier, emollient, consistency agent
  • Documentation: COA, TDS, and SDS available upon request

Key Skin & Hair Benefits

  • Creamy Sensory Profile: Creates a smooth, rich texture without an excessively greasy after-feel.
  • Emollient Support: Helps soften the skin and improve product spreadability.
  • Formula Stability: Supports consistent oil-in-water emulsions when used with a suitable primary emulsifier or co-emulsifier system.

Application & Formulation

  • Ideal for: Face creams, body lotions, sunscreens, cleansing creams, hair conditioners, masks, and color cosmetics.
  • Typical Use Level: 1.0%–5.0%; the exact level depends on grade and emulsifier system.
  • Formulation Tip: Melt completely in the oil phase, commonly around 65–75°C, and combine with an appropriate emulsification system. Do not assume that standalone Glyceryl Stearate performs the same as Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG-100 Stearate blends.
