About This Emulsifier
Also known as Evicare GSC, this citric acid ester of glyceryl stearate represents a reliable foundation for oil-in-water technology. Its robust performance stems from its unique molecular structure, which provides exceptional compatibility with challenging ingredients that often destabilise conventional emulsifiers.
