INGREDIENT OVERVIEW

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Glyceryl stearate citrate is an emulsifier used in cosmetic formulations to stabilise oil-in-water systems such as creams and lotions. It is widely used in modern formulations due to its compatibility and reliable performance.

Our glyceryl stearate citrate is supplied as a cosmetic-grade waxy solid with controlled acid and saponification values, supporting consistent emulsification and formulation stability .

In formulation, it is typically used in combination with fatty alcohols to create stable, well-balanced emulsions.
