It is a gentle, well-tolerated emulsifying and thickening agent that works primarily as a co-emulsifier alongside a primary emulsifier like Olivem 1000 or Emulsifying Wax NF, enhancing stability and contributing to a richer, creamier emulsion texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlyceryl stearate also functions as an emollient in its own right, the glycerin component provides humectant properties, while the stearate component contributes conditioning and skin-softening benefits, making it a functional ingredient on multiple levels simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a co-emulsifier, glyceryl stearate works at the oil-water interface of an emulsion to stabilize droplets and prevent separation, enhancing the performance of the primary emulsifier and contributing to a more stable, longer-lasting formula. Its emollient properties leave a soft, smooth skin feel after application. Its thickening contribution helps create the body and consistency expected of a lotion or cream, and its natural origin makes it compatible with natural and certified organic formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSkin Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacter: Co-emulsifying, emollient, thickening\u003cbr\u003eUse: Co-emulsifier and emollient in lotion and cream formulas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor external use only.
