Ethylene Glycol Distearate
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
EGDS is a high-performance Opacifying Agent and pearlizing wax used extensively in the personal care industry. It provides a luxurious pearlescent appearance and creamy consistency to liquid soaps and shampoos.
This Cosmetic Grade ester is highly valued for its ability to stabilize emulsions and enhance the sensory profile of surfactants. It features low residual acidity and consistent melting behavior for predictable formulation results.
As a non-ionic surfactant, EGDS improves the viscosity of aqueous systems while providing mild conditioning benefits. It is a cost-effective solution for transforming clear formulations into premium, opaque finished products.
