Overview
Glyceryl behenate is an ingredient with a range of benefits in cosmetics. Supplied as a pellet or a powder, this ingredient can serve as an emulsifier and viscosity controlling agent in water-in-oil emulsions.
Dissolved into the oil phase of skincare products, glyceryl behenate can also create oil-based gels. This compound can be synthetic or naturally derived, and also offers good emolliency.
Products containing glyceryl behenate are often soft and silky and have excellent stability thanks in part to this ingredient.
