Glyceryl Stearate SE

Glyceryl Stearate SE (Glyceryl Stearate SE) is a versatile cosmetic ingredient that serves multiple functions, making it a valuable asset in many formulations. Sold in bead form, this secondary emulsifier and thickener possesses a mild odor and is specifically engineered to stabilize, opacify, and provide emollient properties in neutral to slightly alkaline products. Its effective thickening capabilities reduce the need for additional co-emulsifiers in various oil-based formulations, while it may also facilitate the formation of liquid crystalline or crystalline gel phases in emulsions containing significant water content. With its broad range of uses, Glyceryl Stearate SE enhances both the texture and stability of skincare and cosmetic products.
