About Glyceryl Behenate

Glyceryl Behenate is the monoester of glycerin and behenic acid.[1] The moisturization and spreadability of a finished product containing Glyceryl Behenate may vary depending on the concentration and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
