Glyceryl Stearate SE: Cosmetic Ingredient INCI

Glyceryl Stearate SE is a common ingredient found in many cosmetics and personal care products. It is a combination of glycerin and stearic acid and works as an emulsifier and stabilizer in different formulations. Emulsifiers help to blend water and oil-based ingredients, which is necessary for creating smooth and stable products. Glyceryl Stearate SE is also gluten free, so it is safe for people with gluten sensitivity. Further, this ingredient has moisturizing properties, which can help hydrate the skin and improve its texture. It is not the same as glycerin, which is a standalone ingredient in many cosmetics. The chemical formula of Glyceryl Stearate SE is C₉₉H₁₉₆KNaO₁₆.
