What Is Glyceryl Stearate? And Is It Safe To Use?

[@Yuchub33]

is that self emulsifying GS? mine doesnt dissolve in water, only in hot oils or melted waxes

[@donblack6415]

Can you do a video on how to make glyceryl stearate?

[@krane15]

Your little boat appears to be handling the rapids quite satisfactorily, but its bobbing a lot so looks like it could use a bit more ballast. Anyway, bodybuilders use Glycerol monostearate as a supplement to volumize the muscle. That does not mix at all well with water and clumps and floats on top like syrofoam pellets.

What is a better substitute?

[@milliondollarbatchmaker]

The business of substituting emulsifiers can get complicated depending on what properties you want to impart to your product. Your ideal choice (as far as cosmetics go) is to go with a blend of emulsifiers that many well known companies provide under certain tradenames. (i.e. polawax, BTMS, etc), Contact the seller to make sure that the product meets your demands for being vegan, organic, cruelty-free, etc.

What is safer and better than Glyceryl Stearate GMS for making hair conditioner .Thank you

[@milliondollarbatchmaker]

Glyceryl Stearate is already considered quite natural and safe overall. But if you are looking for an emulsifier with a sterling reputation I would point you to Emulsense HC. It was made by chemists at a company called Inolex (I have no affiliation with them). And they did their best to create it with using all the principles of green chemistry (low carbon footprint, made sustainably, no petrochemicals, etc). It is also very suitable for hair conditioners. Just curious, what else are you using to create your hair conditioner?

You rock. thanks

[@fliu5282]

best American Funniest Home Video, your cream is made while the RC speed boat is the grinder and mix engine. Haaa. I am sure it will come out a million dollars batch.

[@milliondollarbatchmaker]

Glad you liked it!

[@Yuchub33]

I use it as a substitute of natural waxes which tend to be much more expensive in cosmetics HEHEHE
