Liquid Glyceryl Monostearate-CAS 31566-31-1
Liquid Glyceryl Monostearate is a high-performance nonionic surfactant synthesized from stearic acid and glycerol. Compared with traditional solid flaky glyceryl monostearate, the liquid type features excellent fluidity, rapid water dispersion and no agglomeration during feeding. It has comprehensive functions of emulsification, thickening, foam stabilization and moisturizing, with ultra-mild properties and high safety. It is highly compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactant systems, which can effectively optimize oil-water balance, improve product texture and enhance long-term storage stability. Complying with global cosmetic raw material standards, it is a universal and essential functional raw material for high-end mild daily chemical products.



Key Benefits
• Superior Liquid Processing Performance: Good fluidity at normal temperature, easy feeding and industrial batching, no precipitation or agglomeration, suitable for automated continuous production.
• Efficient Oil-water Emulsification: Excellent emulsifying capacity, perfectly fuse oil and water phases, effectively prevent product stratification, demulsification and water separation.
• Natural Thickening & Texture Optimization: Inherent thickening effect, moderately increase formula viscosity, make cream and lotion texture delicate, smooth and uniform.
• Stable Foam Performance: Assist surfactants in stabilizing foam, improve foam density and durability, avoid foam collapse in cleansing products.
• Mild Moisturizing & Conditioning: Form a breathable protective film on skin and hair, relieve dryness and roughness, keep skin soft and hair smooth after washing.
• Full-system Compatibility & Safety: Wide formula adaptability, non-irritating, fully compliant with global cosmetic regulations, safe for long-term use in delicate care products.
Applications
• Facial & Body Cleansing Products: Mild facial cleanser, amino acid cleansing foam, high-stability body wash and hand sanitizer.
• Hair Care Cleansing Products: Smoothing shampoo, anti-frizz hair cleanser, mild hair care formulas with stable foam system.
• Cream & Lotion Skincare Products: Moisturizing cream, body lotion, skin care emulsion, universal thickening and emulsifying base material.
• Infant & Sensitive Skin Series: Ultra-mild baby bath products, sensitive skin daily cleansing and moisturizing products.
• High-end Daily Chemical Formulas: Salon-grade personal care products, high-stability long-shelf-life daily chemicals, mild emulsifying and thickening auxiliary agents.
