Glyceryl Stearate is a white, waxy emollient that gives "body" to skincare formulas. It also contains Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, which is a super common, waxy, white, solid stuff that helps water and oil to mix together, gives body to creams, and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. The product is free from parabens and plastic microbeads. The Rituals brand aims to use as many ingredients of natural origin as possible, and their products are cleanly formulated and dermatologically tested to ensure they are effective but also safe for the skin.
