GMS 40 SE (Glyceryl Monostearate) Emulsifier

Reliable emulsification. Smooth texture. Stable formulations.

GMS 40 SE (Malaysia – Suriachem) is a high-quality form of Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) containing approximately 40% active emulsifying content, widely used across cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical formulations. Derived from glyceryl esters of stearic acid, it offers excellent emulsifying and stabilizing properties.

In cosmetic formulations, it helps create stable oil-in-water emulsions, improving both texture and shelf life — trusted by formulators for creating professional-quality creams, lotions, and emulsions with consistent performance.

Key Benefits:

• Effective Emulsifier: Stabilizes oil & water mixtures
• Prevents Separation: Enhances formulation stability
• Improves Texture: Provides smooth, creamy consistency
• Consistent Performance: Reliable batch-to-batch results
• Multi-Purpose Use: Suitable for cosmetic, food & pharma applications
• Enhances Product Feel: Improves spreadability and finish

Applications:

Cosmetic Use:

How It Works:

GMS 40 SE acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer by reducing surface tension between oil and water, forming a stable emulsion structure, improving consistency and viscosity, and enhancing product shelf stability — resulting in smooth, stable, and high-quality formulations.
