Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate 10 g

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate lipophilic licorice derived stabilizer functional ingredient for emulsion systems

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate is a lipophilic derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid obtained from licorice root and used as a functional ingredient in advanced formulation systems. It is primarily incorporated into the oil phase where it acts as a stabilizer, structuring component and technological support material that improves homogeneity of multi component systems. In manufacturing it is applied to enhance stability of emulsions, creams and complex formulations where controlled texture and uniform distribution of ingredients are critical.

In formulations containing high levels of actives, botanical extracts and functional materials, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate helps maintain structural integrity and reduces the risk of phase separation during storage and transportation. It is compatible with emollients, oils, waxes, antioxidants and other lipophilic ingredients widely used in manufacturing. Due to its stable behavior under heating and mixing conditions, it supports reproducibility and is suitable for both laboratory development and industrial scale production.

Texture formation and formulation behavior

In finished systems Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate contributes to a more cohesive and structured texture, improving oil phase integration and overall uniformity. In emulsions it stabilizes the interface between phases, reducing separation and supporting consistent product structure. In creams and serums it creates a smooth and balanced texture profile.

The ingredient participates in the formation of a lipid matrix that retains functional components within the formulation and supports even distribution. In hair care systems it enhances spreadability and structural consistency. For manufacturers this translates into controlled rheology and predictable performance during filling and end use.

Applications in cosmetics pharmaceutical food and functional systems

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate is used in cosmetics as a stabilizer and functional ingredient in creams, emulsions, serums and masks. In skin care it is applied in complex formulations. In hair care it is used in conditioners and masks.

In body care and SPA products it is used in creams and emulsions. In pharmaceutical development it functions as a supporting stabilizing ingredient. In nutraceutical production it may be used as a technological component in lipid based systems.

In the food industry it can be applied as a structuring element in specialized formulations. In botanical and functional systems it serves as a stabilizer. Suitable for private label and contract manufacturing due to its reproducible performance.

Recipe

Stabilized emulsion cream with Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate

Purified water 720 ml
Emulsifier 40 g
Almond oil 80 ml
Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate 15 g
Glycerin 60 ml
Panthenol 20 ml
Calendula extract 40 ml
Preservative system 5 ml
pH regulator 3 ml

Process

Glycerin is dissolved in the water phase under mixing to form a uniform base. The oil phase is prepared by combining almond oil, emulsifier and Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate followed by heating to ensure even distribution. The phases are then combined to form an emulsion under controlled mixing. During cooling panthenol and calendula extract are incorporated. At the final stage the preservative system is added and pH is adjusted, followed by stabilization to achieve a uniform and reproducible texture.

Industrial scalability and formulation reproducibility

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate is used in industrial manufacturing as a stable technological ingredient that supports reproducible formulation parameters and texture control. It enables consistent scaling from laboratory to full production. Suitable for automated processes and contract manufacturing where stability and repeatability are required. Widely applied in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and functional product industries.
