    Information

    Glyceryl behenate is an ester formed from glycerin and behenic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. It is primarily used in cosmetics and skincare as an emollient, stabilizer, and texture enhancer.

    Where does it come from?

    Glyceryl behenate is derived from natural plant sources such as rapeseed oil or peanut oil. The final compound is produced through esterification, a process that combines glycerin and behenic acid.
