Description
Glycol Stearate is an emulsifier and emollient that makes cosmetic products soft, pleasant to the touch, and provides a stable consistency. It forms emulsions (combines water and oils), improves texture, and makes creams smoother and silkier. It is also known for its "pearlescent shine" effect, so it is often used in shampoos, shower gels, and creams to give the product shine and gloss. It does not irritate the skin and is suitable for daily care.
