Glyceryl Stearate Citrate
Glyceryl stearate citrate is a naturally derived fatty acid produced from glyceryl stearate and citric acid. When used in skincare as an emollient, it acts as a natural lubricant to help keep skin soft and smooth, while also forming a barrier to prevent moisture loss. While glyceryl stearate can be produced from stearic acid derived from animal fats, ours is sourced exclusively from plant origins.
