โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

โ“ What's the difference between GMS and PEG-100 Stearate?

GMS is non-ethoxylated (gentler), while PEG-100 Stearate has better emulsion stability but may concern 'clean beauty' consumers.

โ“ Can I use it in vegan products?

Yes, typically derived from plant oils (coconut/palm). Verify with supplier.

โ“ Why is my emulsion separating?

Likely insufficient emulsifier concentration or inadequate mixing. Increase to 3-5% and ensure proper homogenization.
