Glycol stearate is the ester of ethylene glycol and stearic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid. In cosmetic and personal care products it functions as a surfactant - cleansing agent in skin creams, conditioners, shampoos, body cleansers and soapless detergents. Glycol stearate is considered not to be a toxic hazard in the quantities available through normal exposure or package size. It is also can be used as inactive ingredient in medications.
