Glyceryl Stearate / PEG-100 Stearate is a widely used emulsifying blend in cosmetic and personal care formulations, designed to help combine oil and water into stable, uniform emulsions. It allows formulators to create creams and lotions with a smooth consistency, good spreadability, and a pleasant application feel. Glyceryl Stearate contributes emollient properties and helps improve the texture of the finished product, while PEG-100 Stearate supports emulsification by helping disperse and maintain oil droplets throughout the water-based phase. This combination is commonly used in facial moisturisers, body lotions, hand creams, cleansing creams, and other skincare products that require a balanced, creamy texture. It is particularly useful when developing oil-in-water emulsions, where oils and other oil-soluble ingredients need to be evenly distributed in a water-based formulation. When incorporated at an appropriate concentration alongside a suitable formulation system, Glyceryl Stearate / PEG-100 Stearate helps produce products with consistent texture, smooth application, and improved emulsion stability.
