why we use glyceryl dioleate

The Basics

Glyceryl Dioleate is a plant-derived ester of glycerin and oleic acid, used in skincare formulations for its emollient and surfactant properties. It helps to improve the spreadability of formulations, leaving the skin feeling soft and nourished. As a surfactant, it aids in stabilising emulsions, ensuring a smooth and uniform texture in creams and lotions.
