Glyceryl stearate citrate is similar to the super common skincare ingredient glyceryl stearate, and is similarly used to help combine waters and oils (emulsifier) and to make your skin feel nice and soft (emollient). While moisturizing helps to hydrate the skin and protect its natural barrier, using too much moisturizer can create an unnatural barrier on the skin that prevents it from breathing properly. Emollients/moisturizers work by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water in the skin.

The main difference between glyceryl stearate citrate and its cousin glyceryl stearate is that this one has a citric acid molecule also attached to its glycerin. A common functional ingredient that helps to keep the oil-loving and water-loving ingredients together (emulsifier), stabilizes and thickens the products.
