Glyceryl stearate, also called glyceryl monostearate, is a white or pale yellow waxy substance derived from palm kernel, olives, or coconuts
It is an emollient that keeps products blended together
It can also be a surfactant, and to keep things from going stale
In our products glyceryl stearate is used for its most common purpose: to bind moisture to the skin for making them more resistant to light
It forms a barrier on the skin and prevents products from feeling greasy
As an emulsifier, it also allows products to stay blended
It can also lessen symptoms and signs of atopic dermatitis, including pruritus, erythema, fissuring, and lichenification
While the main function of glyceryl stearate is to improve the texture and sensory feel of skincare products it also helps to hydrate and protect the skin, giving your skin that dewy glow
It also reduces the greasiness of oils used in cosmetics and personal care products
