Glyceryl Oleate
Glyceryl Oleate is an emulsifier that helps bind ingredients together to form and retain a shape - for example the shape of a candle. For this reason, it is also commonly found in cosmetics like lipsticks and eye shadows. Like other emulsifiers, Glyceryl Oleate also helps prevent separation in a formula. Adding emulsifiers helps ensure that products provide the same performance use after use.
