Absolutely the first google entry it listed. What Google are you using?

Here is the 2nd Google listing:
Emulsifiers with HLB Values (theherbarie.com)
Oh sorry…I forgot I don’t use Google. I use ‘Bing’.

If you want to create a w/o emulsion, it usually takes a bit more than just glyceryl monostearate… GMS alone is a poor emulsifier and, depending on composition, is not even behaving like an emulsifier but a co-emulsifier, lamellar liquid crystal promoter, or oil gellant.What type of oil (silicone?) are you using? Viscosity of the oil and water phase?
