| Applications | Glycol stearate palmitate has poor emulsifying ability, but can be used as a stabilizer for water-in-oil emulsions. It has a moisturizing effect and can also be used as a sunblock, thickener and dispersant. In cosmetics, glycol palmitate is used as the 'fat body' of lip balm, to give a pearly milky glow to hair shampoos, and as an additive in tannic therapy lubricants. |
