How is Glycol Distearate made?
Glycol Distearate is produced by the esterification of ethylene glycol with stearic acid. The result is a versatile compound that disperses easily in water-based formulations and is suitable for use in a variety of applications due to its stable, skin-friendly nature.
The function of EGDS
EGDS provides a rich, creamy appearance in liquid products such as shampoos and shower gels. It increases viscosity, improves spreading and gives a pleasant skin feel. With its pearlescent sheen, it visually contributes to the luxurious appearance of the final product. It also helps to thicken and stabilize formulas.
