glyceryl stearate

what it is: when you see glyceral sterate show up in your fave formula, know that this fatty acid ester has many jobs to do. like the true multitasker this ingredient is, glyceral sterate works as an emulsifier to blend oil + water ingredients together in haircare formulas + it’s often used as an emollient to moisturize + condition hair. added bonus—glyceral sterate can also be used as a stabilizer to make sure your formulas are always ready-to-use.
