Glyceryl Esters comprise a subgroup of Esters which are primarily Fatty Acid mono- and diglycerides or triglycerides modified by reaction with other Alcohols and the like. Also included are the fatty acid esters of polyglycerin, the complex dehydration product of glycerin, e.g., Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate.
Like natural fats and oils, these Glyceryl Esters are subject to hydrolysis. They are used in cosmetics as emollients, lubricants, vehicles, and thickening agents. In addition, the monoglycerides (e.g., Glyceryl Stearate) are important emulsifiers. |
