GLYCERYL STEARATE
Glyceryl stearate (Glyceryl monostearate) is a non-toxic, wax-like compound derived from glycerin and stearic acid, commonly used in cosmetics as an emulsifier, moisturizer, and emollient. Glyceryl Stearate is used in skin care and cosmetic products because of its great moisturizing properties. It traps moisture on the skin and hair to prevent dehydration and damage. Moreover, glyceryl stearate also binds other ingredients together in a formulation. Further, this ingredient is mildly comedogenic and may cause acne on some skin types.
