General Description
Glyceryl Monostearate is a non-ionic emulsifier produced from glycerol and stearic acid. It is used to stabilize emulsions, improve texture, and provide structural consistency in both oil- and water-based systems. In addition to emulsification, it contributes to viscosity building and sensory enhancement. Its predictable behavior and compatibility with a wide range of ingredients support consistent formulation performance.
