Glycol stearate is a white or pale yellow waxy substance derived from palm kernel, olives, or coconuts. It is a common monoglyceride that aids in mixing water and oil together and is used as emulsifier and emollient in cosmetics. It can be found in skincare and haircare as a moisturizer and for its antistatic properties. It is also used as a dough conditioner and to keep things from going stale in food products.
Emollient: It keeps products blended together and forms a barrier on the skin. Emulsifier: It helps to keep an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid parts. Thickener: It adds texture and stability to skincare and haircare products. Skin conditioning agent: It stabilizes products and decreases water evaporation, making it resistant to freezing and keeping a crust from forming on its surface.
Suitable for most skin types, except for those with very oily skin.
May cause eye irritation at a concentration of up to 100%.
Use in small concentrations (1.5-2.5% for body lotion, face cream, and sunscreens; 2-5% for softeners, conditioners, and thickeners).
Derived from palm kernel, olives, or coconuts.
Safe for use in cosmetics.
Acceptable in body care quality standards.
Glycol stearate is a natural product found in organisms such as Aristolochia cucurbitifolia and Lobelia longisepala. It is also used as a dough conditioner and to keep things from going stale in food products. Glycol distearate is a close relative to glycol stearate and glycol stearate SE. It is a white to cream-colored waxy solid used to condition skin, to increase the thickness of certain cosmetic products (like creams and lotions), and to reduce the clear or transparent appearance of cosmetics, such as in make-up concealers. It can be derived from animal sources (cow- or hog-derived) or vegetable sources, such as soybean oil and canola oil. It can also be produced synthetically through processing stearic acid.
