In reply to beautifulwithbrains. That happened to me. I ended up narrowing it down to Glyceral Stearate SE that was causing an allergic reaction on my face. The one product from the same company had it and the other product did not have it. Once I washed my face with the product that did not contain the Glyceral Stearate SE, the redness and itchiness went away. I'm just glad I was able to figure it out!!

Stopping by to say that i suspect Glycerl Stearate broke me out (comedones) on my face. Product in question was Avene’s new Very High Protection Fluid SPF50. There was also Tocopherol and one or two other known comedogenic ingredients but those usually do not cause me problems. Intrigued.

In reply to Meddy. Meddy, glyceryl monosterate is an emulsifier: it helps water mix with oils. Unless you're allergic to it, it won't cause any side effects.

Hiya…please are they any effects of using a HAIR product with glyceryl monosterate?
