Texture is one of the biggest parts of how a cosmetic formula is experienced. A product can have strong actives, but if the texture does not feel right, consumers notice.
SustOleo™ GMS from Inolex is a glyceryl stearate ingredient used to support emulsion stability, viscosity, structure, and overall product feel. Its INCI name is Glyceryl Stearate.
This ingredient is especially useful for chemists working on creams, lotions, emulsions, and other personal care products where texture and stability matter.
Why formulators use Glyceryl Stearate
Glyceryl Stearate is widely used in cosmetic formulation as an emulsifier, co-emulsifier, stabilizer, and texture-supporting ingredient. It can help improve the structure of emulsions while contributing to a smooth, conditioned skin feel.
For cosmetic chemists, SustOleo™ GMS can be considered for:
Creams
Lotions
Facial moisturizers
Body care products
Emulsions
Lip products
Pressed powder formulas
Texture-rich skincare products
It can also help build viscosity and support an opaque appearance in certain formulas.
Where it fits in formulation
SustOleo™ GMS is a practical ingredient for formulas where the goal is to create better structure, improved stability, and a more polished skin feel.
It can be useful in both simple and more complex emulsions, especially when formulators need support with thickness, texture, and product elegance.
