Glyceryl stearate self-emulsifying beads are a mixture of glyceryl stearate and auxiliary emulsifiers. They function as primary emulsifiers in oil-in-water systems, simplifying the formulation process in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. These beads ensure stable emulsions, enhance viscosity, and provide smooth texture. They are widely used in creams, lotions, and ointments due to their excellent self-dispersing properties.
