GLYCERYL DIOLEATE

In cosmetics, glyceryl dioleate functions as a water-in-oil emulsifier, a skin conditioning agent (emollient), and a binder, derived from glycerin and oleic acid. It is used in products like creamslotionsmakeup, and bath oils to help create stable mixtures of oil and water, provide a soft and smooth skin feel, and act as a solvent for fats and waxes. It is generally considered safe for cosmetic use by regulatory bodies like the FDA.
