Technical Description & Product Overview
Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) is a pearlizing and opacifying agent widely used in personal-care and cleansing formulations.

EGDS is commonly used in shampoos, liquid soaps, shower gels, body washes, facial cleansers and other surfactant-based formulations. It is typically supplied as white to off-white waxy flakes or pellets and is incorporated into formulations using appropriate heat and mixing conditions to achieve uniform dispersion. INCI Name: Glycol Distearate | CAS No.: 627-83-8 | Functions: pearlizing agent, opacifier, emollient and consistency modifier. It is particularly suitable for formulators seeking a rich, luxurious appearance in rinse-off personal-care products.
