Glyceryl Stearate is derived from the natural vegetable fatty acids (usually palm, coconut or soy oil) of glycerin and stearic acid. It is a clear liquid, readily able to penetrate the skin. It is a popular emulsifier (regulates the consistency of water/oil preparations) and emollient (softens and soothes the skin) used in cosmetic preparations such as creams and lotions, providing stability and improving skin texture. It is also used an a humectant (moisture retainer), and it aids in exfoliating the skin. |
