Glycerolmonostearate SE
Wat is Glycerolmonostearate SE?
Glycerolmonostearate SE is a self-emulsifying variant of Glyceryl Stearate, where SE stands for Self Emulsifying. This means that, in addition to its classic emulsifying properties, the product contains auxiliary agents that allow it to easily form stable oil-in-water emulsions. As a result, it is a highly popular ingredient in cosmetic formulations, contributing to the stability, texture, and conditioning properties of creams and lotions.

How is Glyceryl Stearate SE produced?
The product is produced through the esterification of glycerin with stearic acid, just like regular Glyceryl Stearate. The difference lies in the addition of small amounts of alkaline salts of fatty acids, which provide the Self Emulsifying effect. This makes Glycerolmonostearate SE a versatile and easy-to-use emulsifier suitable for a wide range of applications.
Function of Glycerolmonostearate SE
Glyceryl Stearate SE acts as a powerful emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener. It helps to blend water and oil phases and keeps the emulsion stable, even under challenging conditions. In addition, it contributes to a pleasant texture and a smooth, soft skin feel. Thanks to its self-emulsifying capability, it can often be used without additional emulsifiers, making formulations simpler and more cost-effective.
