GLYCERYL STEARATE
Stearic acid, monoester with glycerol
GLYCERYL STEARATE is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Skin Conditioning - Emollient, Surfactant - Emulsifying, with CAS number 31566-31-1 and EC number 250-705-4/286-490-9. GLYCERYL STEARATE is the INCI name of the substance known as glyceryl monostearate (INN), also recorded as glyceroli monostearas (Ph. Eur.). In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 22 product labels, reaching position 4 on d'Olive hacim veren saç kremi. Fulton (1989) grades it 1 on the 0–5 comedogenicity scale; that grade is transcribed as-is and is the only rating source used. INCIDB's rule-derived heuristic flags it as a possible Malassezia (fungal-acne) trigger. That is a rule, not a measurement — treat it as a filter rather than a finding.
