Imwitor 960 K can also be a surfactant, emulsifier, and thickener in food often it’s used as a dough conditioner and to keep things from going stale.
In our products, however, glyceryl stearate is used for its most common purpose to bind moisture to the skin.
Imwitor 960 K is a common ingredient in thousands of cosmetic products, including lotions, makeup, skin cleansers, and other items.
Imwitor 960 K is formed through a reaction of glycerin with stearic acid, which is a fatty acid that comes from animal and vegetable fats and oils.
Imwitor 960 K is made by reacting an excess of stearic acid with glycerin.
Imwitor 960 K is then reacted with potassium and/or sodium hydroxide.
That produces a substance that contains glyceryl stearate, potassium stearate, and/or sodium stearate.
Imwitor 960 K is the natural glyceryl ester from stearic acid (glycerin and stearic acid) which offers great skin conditioning, moisturization and hydration due to its glycerin component.
