  Glyceryl Stearate SE (GMSE) Chemistry

  Posted by gfeldman on February 27, 2015 at 4:19 pm

  So I work with GMSE (commonly referred to as Glyceryl Monostearate Self Emulsifying, although I believe the correct INCI is Glyceryl Stearate off the top of my head) on rare occasion and although it is not my favorite emulsifier, I would like to know a bit more about it from shared experiences. In particular I have recently read that several factors effect its performance;

  - pH (5.5-9)
  - EDTA (not good)
  - Percent water (high is preferred)

  Can anyone validate these from their personal experience? Are there additional factors that perhaps should also be considered?

  Thank you for your advice and I look forward to your suggestions.
