DESCRIPTION

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.

Benefits and properties
  • 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.
Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Recommended usage level
  • Skin care: 1–10 %
  • Hair care: 1%–5%
  • Cosmetics: 1 %–10 %
  • Food: according to regulations and the specific formulation.
How to use and incorporate: Incorporation method
  • Oil phase: melt in the oil phase of the formulation at 60–70 °C/140–158 °F before emulsification.
  • Blending: can be combined with other emulsifiers and stabilizers to improve emulsion stability.
Formulation tips:
  • Combine with co-emulsifiers or stabilizers (cetyl or cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, xanthan gum) to improve body and stability.
  • To evaluate stability: centrifugation, temperature cycles and observation of separation for 4 weeks.
Compatibility:
  • Compatible with a wide variety of oils, waxes, emulsifiers and cosmetic actives.
  • Suitable for formulations with pH 4.0–7.0.
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.
