Ethylene Glycol Distearate
Industrial Applications
Glycol Distearate is widely used as an emulsifier and opacifying agent in personal care and cosmetic products. It helps stabilize oil-in-water formulations, enhances the texture and appearance of creams, lotions, and shampoos, and acts as a skin-conditioning agent. This compound is commonly found in hair care products, skin moisturizers, body washes, and other cosmetic formulations where smooth texture and visual appeal are desired.
Physical Properties
Glycol Distearate is an off-white, waxy solid with low solubility in water but good solubility in oils and organic solvents. It has a melting point typically between 50–60°C and is chemically stable under normal formulation conditions. Its crystalline structure gives formulations a pearlescent or opacified appearance, contributing to both aesthetic and functional properties in personal care products.
