Glyceryl Stearate SE

Glyceryl Stearate SE is a self-emulsifying grade of glyceryl stearate that contains a small amount of potassium stearate or sodium stearate, which gives it enhanced emulsifying properties compared to standard glyceryl stearate. This modification allows it to create stable oil-in-water emulsions without requiring additional emulsifiers, making it particularly valuable for formulators seeking simplified, cost-effective emulsion systems. The SE grade produces creams and lotions with a characteristic rich, luxurious feel and excellent stability across various pH ranges.
