Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) is a versatile, non-ionic emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickening agent, typically derived from plant oils, which is widely valued across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries for creating stable emulsions and imparting a luxurious, creamy texture and a silky, emollient feel. It effectively blends oil and water, enhances product viscosity, and softens skin by improving its barrier function.
