Glyceryl Stearate Se

The details

Glyceryl Stearate Se is a self-emulsifying (SE) form of glyceryl stearate . Self-emusifying means this ingredient automatically blends with water. It is an emulsifier, emollient, and cleansing agent. As an emulsifier, Glyceryl Stearate Se prevents ingredients such as oil and water from separating. It is also a surfactant, meaning it helps cleanse the skin. Surfactants help gather oil, dirt, and other pollutants so they may be rinsed away easily. Emollients help your skin stay smooth and soft. It does so by creating a film on top of the skin that helps trap moisture in.
