Why this grade
Glyceryl stearate SE is the backbone co-emulsifier of mainstream emulsification — and a palm-derivative landmine for sustainability-claimant brands. Ours is produced on a rapeseed-derived, fully segregated palm-free chain, certified through the supply.
The SE grade self-emulsifies without a separate anionic emulsifier, simplifying your INCI and stabilizing across 3-10% use levels. Batch consistency documents (saponification value, iodine value) print on every COA.
Key benefits
- Palm-free, rapeseed-derived chain — certified segregated supply
- Self-emulsifying: simplifies INCI, removes co-emulsifier cost
- Saponification and iodine values printed per batch
- Stable across 3-10% use levels and wide pH
Technical specification
Ingredient profile
Glyceryl Stearate SE is the self-emulsifying workhorse of clean-label O/W systems: a single INCI that contributes both the emulsifier and the structure of a lamellar skin-feel. This SE grade carries 90%-plus monoglyceride content, so it can build stable, elegant emulsions without a PEG or a polyol cloud point.
Made from certified palm-free rapeseed chemistry in the EU, the chain is fully auditable — a differentiator for brands running palm-free or low-environmental-impact claims. Typical usage is 3–6% depending on oil phase and desired viscosity.
It is vegan, allergen-free, and supplied with full saponification value reporting and emulsification guidance in the technical data sheet.
