Glycol Stearate
Personal Care
Glycol Stearate is an ester of stearic acid and ethylene glycol, commonly used in personal care products as a pearlizing agent, emulsifier, and skin-conditioning agent. It gives products like shampoos, body washes, and lotions a luxurious, pearly appearance and creamy texture. Glycol Stearate also helps stabilize emulsions, keeping oil and water-based ingredients from separating. Additionally, it imparts a soft, smooth feel to the skin, enhancing the sensory experience of the product.
