Ingredient
Glyceryl Stearate (from Olive Oil)
Benefits
Natural
Glyceryl stearate is an emulsifying and stabilising ingredient; it allows oil and water-based ingredients to mix well together.
The glyceryl stearate purchased by Lush is derived from olives and more specifically from a crude fat produced during the process of making olive oil, in Italy.
Glyceryl stearate is often combined with PEG-100 stearate to create an even more powerful stabiliser.
