Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) – Organic - 25 kg

Organic Certified Glyceryl Monostearate, referred to as GMS for short, is a solid, waxy substance carrying a white appearance and minimal to no odor. This material is produced by distilling cold-pressed organic flax seed oil or sunflower oil to yield two parts, organic glycerin and organic fatty acids. The fatty acid byproduct portion are fractionated to produce saturated fatty acids which will react with the organic glycerin to form Organic Glyceryl Monostearate. GMS, or organic glyceryl monostearate, is most sought after for its emulsifying properties, the ability to bind water and oil together in a formulation which would naturally separate. Emulsifiers are an integral part of product development and formulation, used throughout cosmetic and personal-care manufacturing to food and beverage engineering, along with a wide range of industrial applications. In addition to emulsifying properties, GMS is a common food additive to thicken the consistency of a combination of ingredients, prevent caking, or act as an added preservative. Its natural emollient characteristics make it suitable for a multitude of topical skincare products.
