SustOleo™ GMS
SustOleo™ GMS is a non-palm, 100% natural grade of glyceryl monostearate. It is a powerful co-emulsifier that can be used in nonionic, anionic or cationic O/W emulsions as well as W/O emulsions and surfactant systems. SustOleo™ GMS is a stabilizer that helps to build lamellar structures in emulsions providing consistency and texture to formulations. SustOleo™ GMS is suggested in cosmetics and toiletries and recommended as a coemulsifier in conjunction with a variety of emulsifiers and surfactants. SustOleo™ GMS is also recommended as a binder in non-aqueous oil and wax systems such as lipsticks and pressed powders. Derived from sustainably sourced coconut oil and olive oil, it is an ideal alternative to typical glyceryl monostearates that are derived from palm oil. It can be used in skin care, hair care, sun care, and color cosmetics. SustOleo™ GMS contains 100% biobased content as certified by the USDA BioPreferred® Program, does not contain palm derivatives, is COSMOS approved, and is approved for use in NSF/ANSI 305 certified personal care products.
