Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate 100 g

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate lipophilic stabilizer from licorice for emulsion systems and barrier support formulations

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate is a lipophilic derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid obtained from licorice root and used as a functional ingredient in formulation systems requiring structural integrity and stability. It is incorporated into the oil phase where it acts as a stabilizer and structuring raw material, supporting rheology control and uniform distribution of components. In manufacturing it improves interaction between ingredients and ensures predictable formulation behavior during scale up.

In multi component systems containing actives, botanical extracts and functional additives, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate enhances stability and maintains homogeneity. It is compatible with oils, waxes, emollients and other lipophilic materials. Its thermal and mechanical stability ensures reproducible results in industrial production.

Texture structure and lipid matrix stability

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate contributes to a cohesive and structured texture, improving oil phase integration and emulsion stability. It forms a lipid matrix that retains active components and supports uniform distribution. In creams and serums it enhances smoothness and structural consistency.

In hair care systems it improves spreadability and formulation stability, enabling controlled rheology and predictable performance.

Applications in cosmetics SPA pharmaceutical and food systems

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

In SPA systems it is used in creams and gels. In pharmaceutical development it functions as a supporting ingredient. In nutraceutical systems it may act as a technological component.

In food and functional products it can be used as a structuring material. Suitable for private label and contract manufacturing.

Recipe

Barrier emulsion cream with Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate

Purified water 710 ml
Emulsifier 45 g
Shea butter 70 ml
Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate 18 g
Glycerin 60 ml
Betaine 20 g
Panthenol 20 ml
Oat extract 40 ml
Preservative system 5 ml
pH regulator 3 ml

Process

Glycerin and betaine are dissolved in the water phase. The oil phase is prepared by combining shea butter, emulsifier and Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate under heating. The phases are combined to form an emulsion followed by cooling and incorporation of active components. The preservative system is added and pH is adjusted to achieve stable structure.

Industrial application and formulation control

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate ensures formulation stability and reproducibility in industrial production. It supports scaling and consistent performance across batches. Used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and functional manufacturing systems.
