Technical data sheet: Glyceryl monostearate

Glyceryl monostearate is a nonionic emulsifier derived from glycerol and stearic acid. A white to cream waxy solid widely used in the cosmetic and food industries as an emulsifying, stabilizing and thickening agent. It is valued for its ability to form stable emulsions and improve product texture.

• Emulsifier: creates stable oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions.
• Texturizer: improves formulation texture, giving a richer, creamier consistency.
• Moisturizing: helps keep skin hydrated by forming a protective barrier that reduces water loss.
• Compatibility: compatible with a wide range of actives and formulations.

Storage: Shelf life 24 months under proper storage conditions.

Precautions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from heat sources and direct light. Keep tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid prolonged skin contact with the neat material to prevent possible irritation.

Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
