Glycerol Monostearate For Skin

Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) is a high-quality cosmetic emulsifier raw material with excellent surface activity. It delivers stable emulsification, thickening, moisturizing and conditioning effects for skincare systems. It can form uniform and stable oil-water emulsion systems, effectively reduce interfacial tension between oil and water phases to prevent stratification of formulations. It endows products with moderate viscosity and comfortable texture, improves spreadability on skin surface, and forms a lightweight protective film on epidermis to lock in moisture and reduce transepidermal water loss. It features good compatibility with most cosmetic oils, surfactants and active ingredients, stabilizes formula system and extends formulation shelf stability. Widely applied in moisturizing creams, body lotions, facial milks, cleansing balms, hair conditioners and various emulsion-type skincare products for emulsification, thickening and skin conditioning purposes.
