Glyceryl Distearate

Glyceryl distearate is a compound derived from glycerin and stearic acid. It functions primarily as an emulsifier, helping oil and water ingredients mix smoothly in cosmetic formulations. It also contributes to the product's texture and can offer some emollient properties to the skin.
