Glyceryl Behenate

Glyceryl Behenate, also known as Glyceryl Behenate, is a relatively unknown term to most of the general population. It is a type of fatty acid that is often used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This substance, which is characterized by its solid and stable properties, is obtained from natural sources, specifically behenic acid oil, the most common source being Moringa oleifera oil. The structure of glyceryl behenate is composed of glycerol and behenic acid, which allows it to be highly stable, moisturizing and emulsifying.

In the cosmetics industry, glyceryl behenate is used as a key ingredient to create a wide range of products, whether it be moisturizers, makeup, lipsticks or lip balms. Its emulsifying and stabilising properties make it ideal for the manufacture of cosmetic products that require long shelf life and stability. It is also widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the manufacture of tablets where it serves as a binder. It is effective in improving the cohesion and dimensional stability of coating materials or as an excipient regulating the release of pharmaceutical substances from dosage forms. In addition, it is also used in the food industry where it functions as a food additive with the designation E471. Its main role is to stabilize food and extend its shelf life.
