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.

Add to oil/emulsifier phase of formulas

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.
First time making an actual lotion. I have made heaps of oils and salves but they of course are greasy and ruin clothes and bedding. Bought lotions have too many extra additives so I thought time to try my own. I am keen to make another one now. Key is getting all the ingredients to be the same temperature so the wax doesnt try to set and go grainy. Happy with the result!
First time trying this emulsifier and LOVED the texture in the lotion I made
