                                Over 90% of cosmetic products contain emulsifiers to keep water and oil components from separating. Sodium stearoyl glutamate is one such emulsifier, widely valued in skincare for its mild, skin-friendly properties. This ingredient's origin traces back to a combination of naturally derived amino acids and plant-based fatty acids.
