Glyceryl Stearate SE

Glyceryl Stearate SE (Glyceryl Stearate) is a versatile cosmetic ingredient celebrated for its self-emulsifying properties, thanks to its formulation containing a small percentage of sodium stearate. This monoester, derived from glycerin and stearic acid, is plant-based and plays a crucial role in creating stable water-in-oil emulsions with an HLB value of 5-8. Glyceryl Stearate SE not only enhances the texture of formulations but also contributes to a smoother application, making it a favored choice in moisturizing creams and lotions. Its ability to blend oil and water components ensures that products maintain their integrity, delivering a luxurious feel while effectively hydrating the skin.
