Chemistry Thursday: Some more esters we use as emulsifiers – glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate SE, and lactylate esters – with some emulsion theory, including charge stabilization, part 34

Welcome back to this introduction to cosmetic chemistry course! Let’s continue our look at esters by investigating those that work as emulsifiers. We’ll get into some emulsion theory, information on the HLB system, then get into those esters! Today we’re looking at more esters we use as emulsifiers – glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate SE, and lactylate…
