Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate (Glyceryl Stearate Citrate) is a versatile glyceryl diester derived from glycerin and fatty acids sourced from vegetable oils, making it a natural choice in cosmetic formulations. This ingredient serves as a hydrophilic, PEG-free, anionic emulsifier and emollient, ideal for creating stable oil-in-water emulsions. With a notable HLB value of 12, it excels in products that require a slightly acidic pH or those incorporating UV filters, enhancing both skin feel and product efficacy. Its ability to provide emulsification and hydration ensures that formulations achieve a smooth, luxurious texture while effectively delivering moisture to the skin.
