Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) is a versatile non-ionic surfactant widely used across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, textile, and industrial applications. It functions as an effective emulsifier, thickening agent, stabilizer, moisturizer, and lubricant.
Its excellent emulsification, consistency enhancement, and compatibility make it a preferred ingredient in various formulations.
Pearlizing Agent | Opacifier | Emulsion Stabilizer | Cosmetic & Personal Care Raw Material
RXSOL Glycol Monostearate (GMS) is a non-ionic, waxy ester widely used as a pearlizing agent, opacifier, emollient and consistency modifier in cosmetic, personal care and specialty chemical formulations.
Glycol Monostearate is produced by esterification of ethylene glycol with stearic acid. It is commonly used in shampoos, liquid hand washes, body washes, facial cleansers and other personal care products to impart a rich, creamy, pearl-like appearance.
RXSOL Glycol Monostearate helps enhance the visual appeal, texture and consistency of liquid formulations. When properly formulated, it produces an attractive pearlescent effect while contributing to product stability and sensory characteristics.

Q1. What is Glycol Monostearate used for?
Glycol Monostearate is primarily used as a pearlizing agent, opacifier and texture modifier in shampoos, liquid hand washes, body washes and other cosmetic formulations.
Q2. Is Glycol Monostearate soluble in water?
No. Glycol Monostearate is practically insoluble in water. It is normally incorporated through heating and dispersion into compatible formulations.
Q3. What percentage of Glycol Monostearate is used in shampoo?
A preliminary development range is approximately 0.5–2.0%, depending on the surfactant composition and desired pearl effect.
Q4. Can Glycol Monostearate be used with SLES?
Yes. Glycol Monostearate is commonly used in SLES-based shampoo and liquid cleansing formulations to produce pearlescence.
Q5. What is the difference between Glycol Monostearate and Glycol Distearate?
Glycol Monostearate contains predominantly the monoester, whereas Glycol Distearate contains the diester. Both are used in personal care formulations, but their melting behaviour, crystal formation and pearlizing performance differ.
Q6. Is Glycol Monostearate an emulsifier?
It can contribute to emulsion structure and consistency, but it is generally used as a pearlizing agent and auxiliary formulation ingredient rather than a standalone primary emulsifier.
Q7. Is Glycol Monostearate suitable for cosmetic manufacturing?
Yes, provided the supplied grade meets the relevant cosmetic raw material specifications and impurity requirements.
