As an emollient, it helps soften skin and supports barrier-replenishing ingredients.
In cosmetics, Glyceryl Stearate is often made from vegetable oils or synthetically produced.

She has never failed me. Never betrayed me. Steadfast. Loyal.
I really wanted to like this product as I have heard great things but it just didn't work well for me. It gave me tons of cc's while drying out and irritating my skin.
