Crafter's Choice™ Glyceryl Stearate Self Emulsifying Blend (GMS SE)

The Glyceryl Stearate (GMS) Self Emulsifying, also known as GMS SE blend is an easy to use self emulsifying blend used to make stable lotions and light, "fluffy" lotions and creams and body butters. It is an excellent Lotion making blend being made up of Glyceryl stearate, and PEG-100 stearate.

It performs the job of emulsifying / blending the oil and water so much easier to help you quickly make a stable lotion or body butter whip, quicker and  easier than e-wax / emulsifying wax and stearic acid. Plus, it also imparts really good feel to the product. Makes a great whipped body butter, and similar products. You'll be wondering why you didn't start making them before!

Functions as a non-ionic opacifier, thickener, and formulation stabilizer, where it also imparts a softer, smoother, feel to your emulsions.

Additionally, Glyceryl Stearate SE is an excellent way to thicken and stabilize  when used with cetearyl alcohol or other fatty alcohols, using in combination with the lactylates, where it also functions as an emollient, and giving the emulsion more smoothness.

    I really am amazed how this works. It starts to work as soon as you add water to your oils or butters. I've never worked with anything like this before, but I can guarantee I will be getting more of this. It is amazing. It makes my body butters very smooth and less greasy. Thank you for having a wonderful product.
