Product Description
Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) is an emulsifier that is used in various cosmetics and personal care products. It is a white, waxy solid that is derived from glycerin and stearic acid. GMS is used to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, increase the viscosity of products and help distribute fragrances and colors evenly throughout the product. It is also used as a moisturizer and foam booster in shampoos, conditioners, and body washes. GMS is generally considered safe to use in cosmetics, but it can cause irritation in some individuals.
