Glycol Stearate IP (Glycol Stearate (and) Stearamide AMP) is a versatile self-emulsifying agent renowned for its pearlizing and opacifying properties, making it an excellent choice for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of cosmetic formulations. This ingredient typically appears as off-white flakes with a faint odor and boasts an HLB value of 5-6, which facilitates the creation of stable water-in-oil emulsions. With a melting point between 57-60°C (135-140°F), Glycol Stearate IP not only improves the texture and visual quality of products but also contributes to the stability and longevity of emulsified formulations. Its ability to elevate both the performance and sensory experience of creams, lotions, and other cosmetic products makes it a valuable asset in the formulation toolkit.
