Glyceryl monostearate SE (GMS-SE) is is the monoester of glycerin and stearic acid and is of vegetable origin. It is able to self emulsify as it contains a small amount (3-6%) of potassium stearate.
As it has a relatively low HLB value (5.8) it is useful for making water-in-oil emulsions. However, it can also be used as a co-emulsifier and thickener for oil-in-water formulations.
NATRUE certified.

I use Glycerol Monostearate SE in creams, lotions and shampoo bars, very moisturizing for skin and hair.
I have used Polysorbate 80 as my co-emulsifier with this emulsifier, to good results. Good quality supplier.
I used this to make a cleansing milk as the only emulsifier used and was super pleased with the results. I needed a little thickener, with it, otherwise oil, water, preservative and teatree essential oil. My daughter is using this and it's great to remove make up.
