Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

GLYCERYL STEARATE CITRATE

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is a high-performance, naturally-derived emulsifier widely used in natural and conventional cosmetic formulations. As an ester of glycerin, stearic acid, and citric acid, it provides excellent emulsifying, stabilising, and skin-conditioning properties. Its compatibility with sensitive skin makes it a preferred choice in formulations ranging from creams and lotions to baby care and sun care products.

This multifunctional ingredient enhances the texture and viscosity of emulsions, delivering a smooth, velvety feel without greasiness. It also supports the formation of stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, even in the presence of active ingredients. Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is an ideal choice for formulators looking for a gentle and eco-conscious alternative to traditional emulsifiers.
