Glyceryl Stearates

The INCI 'Glyceryl Stearates' (plural) designates a blend of glyceryl mono-, di-, and tristearate esters — distinct from 'Glyceryl Stearate' (the predominantly monoester form). The blend provides broader emulsification and skin-conditioning properties in O/W emulsions. A common co-emulsifier in K-beauty creams and sleeping masks alongside cetearyl alcohol.
