  Making Glyceryl Stearate SE

  Posted by Cafe33 on March 15, 2020 at 12:26 am

  I have Glyceryl Stearate as well as powdered Sodium Stearate. 

  Can I produce Glyceryl Stearate SE simply by heating Glyceryl Stearate to melting point (55C) and adding 3% Sodium Stearate under mixing ? Or maybe I need some kind of solvent system. Please advise.

  Melting the two together is all it takes, no solvent needed .

  This proved to be difficult and I was unsuccessful by simply melting the two together. 

  Using EtOH as a solvent, I was success and under cooling/evaporation, I got a waxy uniform compound. I then tested the product and was able to create a successful emulsion which held for many days before I finally discarded it.
