Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) / Pearlizer

Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) / Pearlizer Highlights

• Emulsifying Agent: Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) is commonly used as an opacifier and pearlizing agent in cosmetic and personal care products. It creates a rich, pearlescent sheen in lotions, shampoos, and soaps.
• Viscosity Modifier: EGDS can also act as a thickening agent, contributing to the desired consistency of various formulations. This helps create stable emulsions and improves product texture.
• Industrial Applications: Beyond personal care, EGDS finds use in industrial applications as a lubricant and as a component in waxes and polishes. Its chemical properties make it versatile for different manufacturing processes.
• Solid at Room Temperature: Typically supplied as a waxy solid or flakes, EGDS needs to be heated to melt and incorporate into formulations. This characteristic influences its handling and processing requirements.
• Ester of Fatty Acid: As a diester of ethylene glycol and stearic acid, EGDS is a non-ionic surfactant. This chemical structure contributes to its emulsifying and opacifying capabilities.
