Glyceryl monostearate is a wax that is located in dozens of personal care products, including moisturizers, eye cream, sunscreen, makeup and hand creams. Direct Chems provide GMS which is in pearl form and can be used as a viscosity enhancer adding emollient properties which makes skin softer and supple.

GMS also acts as a fast penetrating emollient which helps retain hydration, lubricate, condition and soften skin. They slow loss of moisture so is ideal when adding to natural formulations. The presence of GMS enables other ingredients in the formulation to continue functioning effectively in order to excel their beneficial properties by extending shelf life, preventing products from freezing and developing crusts on the surface. One important factor is GMS allows oils to be added to products but decreases the greasiness so the final product is a smooth, creamy texture.
