Glyceryl stearate is an ester derived from glycerin and stearic acid. Its chemical formula is C₂₁H₄₂O₄, and it exists as a white to off-white waxy solid with a mild fatty odor. As an amphiphilic molecule, it functions as an emulsifier, emollient, and texture enhancer in cosmetic formulations. It is often synthesized via direct esterification of glycerin and stearic acid, and may be combined with other esters in commercial grades.
This multifunctional cosmetic ingredient serves as both an effective co-emulsifier and texture-enhancing agent in premium skincare formulations. This versatile ester of glycerin and stearic acid is specially engineered to deliver superior emulsion stability, pearlescent effects, and skin-conditioning benefits across diverse product categories.
Available in both standard and self-emulsifying (SE) grades, Glyceryl Stearate meets the highest purity standards with controlled monoester content (40-60%) for consistent performance. Technical support is available to help optimize HLB balance and achieve perfect texture in your products.
