What it is & what it does

Glyceryl Stearate is primarily an emulsifier and emollient. It helps oil and water stay evenly mixed while also improving skin softness and slip.
This is an important functional ingredient, but it is not a treatment active for wrinkles, pigmentation or acne. Its strength is making the formula stable, elegant and comfortable while contributing emollience.

Usage & cautions

No special standalone precaution is usually needed.
