What Is Glyceryl Rosinate?
Glyceryl rosinate is an ester of long chain acids derived from a plant-based ingredient known as rosin. It may be plant-derived or synthetic, with both types working as emollients, surfactants, and emulsifiers.\n\nGlyceyl rosinate is most often used when oils need to remain suspended in a water-based solution. For this reason, it tends to be used in blends that include plant oils such as castor seed or olive and emollient shea butter. Such blends are sometimes used as replacements for the animal-derived emollient lanolin.\n\nAmounts of this ingredient in use range from 8% in mascaras, 1–10% in lipsticks to upwards of 96% in depilatories, attesting to the versatility glyceryl rosinate has. Attesting to its safety, glyceryl rosinate is also used in beverages to create texture and improve flavor stability.
