PEG-100 Stearate and Glyceryl Stearate: Essential Emulsifiers for Natural Skincare

Introduction to PEG-100 Stearate and Glyceryl Stearate:

Have you ever wondered what keeps your skincare products smooth, creamy, and perfectly blended, even after weeks of sitting on your bathroom shelf? You might think it’s magic, but the real answer lies in something a bit more scientific, emulsifiers! These ingredients are the unsung heroes in your lotions and creams, ensuring that each application feels just as luxurious as the first. Today, let's explore two key players in this process, PEG-100 Stearate and Glyceryl Stearate, and why they’re so crucial for your skincare routine.

Understanding PEG-100 Stearate and Glyceryl Stearate: Key Emulsifiers in Your Skincare Routine

Emulsifiers are like the peacemakers in your skincare products—they help water and oil, which normally don’t mix, come together smoothly. This harmony is what gives your favorite lotion that silky texture and ensures that each ingredient is evenly distributed throughout the product.

  • PEG-100 Stearate: Derived from stearic acid (a naturally occurring fatty acid) and ethylene glycol, PEG-100 Stearate acts as a powerful stabilizer and emulsifier in skincare products. Think of it as the glue that holds everything together, preventing oils and water from separating. Despite its scientific name, PEG-100 Stearate is formulated to be gentle and effective, perfect for all skin types.

  • Glyceryl Stearate: Made from glycerin and stearic acid, this ingredient is a natural emulsifier often sourced from plants. Not only does it stabilize your skincare products, but it also adds a moisturizing element, making your skin feel soft and hydrated after each use. It’s like getting two benefits in one ingredient!

Why We Choose PEG-100 Stearate and Glyceryl Stearate for Our Skincare Products

  • Consistency and Texture You Can Count On: Just like a good salad dressing, skincare products need emulsifiers to maintain their texture. Without them, your favorite cream would separate into a messy mix of oil and water. PEG-100 Stearate and Glyceryl Stearate ensure that your skincare products remain perfectly blended, so every application is smooth and effective.

  • Boosting Skin Benefits: These emulsifiers don’t just make your products look good—they make them work better too. By keeping ingredients mixed, they help deliver active ingredients more effectively to your skin. Glyceryl Stearate adds an extra layer of hydration, making it ideal for those with dry or sensitive skin.

  • Gentle and Safe for All Skin Types: At The Natural Lather, we know how important it is to trust what you’re putting on your skin. That’s why we choose emulsifiers that are well-tolerated by all skin types. 

Science-Backed Benefits: What Research Says About PEG-100 Stearate and Glyceryl Stearate

Studies show that these emulsifiers remain on the surface of the skin, creating a barrier that helps retain moisture without penetrating deeply into the skin. This is ideal for those looking for a protective yet lightweight formulation. Their role in stabilizing products also means fewer preservatives are needed, aligning with our commitment to safe, natural skincare.
