Glyceryl stearate is a naturally derived fatty acid ester commonly used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It helps form stable oil-in-water emulsions while providing smooth texture and skin-conditioning benefits. The ingredient enhances spreadability, sensory feel, and mildness in creams, lotions, and other skincare products. Widely used in hair care and topical formulations as well.
