CategorySurfactants & Emulsifiers

Glyceryl Stearate and PEG-100 Stearate act as pharmaceutical excipients by functioning as an emulsifier to create stable oil-in-water emulsions in lotions, creams, and other topical formulations. It is also used as a stabilizer, emollient, and conditioning agent that improves product texture, spreadability, and skin feel. While generally considered safe, especially when purified, it is important to be aware of potential contamination concerns and to avoid use on broken skin.
