Ethylene Glycol Distearate

Description

Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) is a synthetic (S) ester derived from the reaction of ethylene glycol with stearic acid. It is widely used in personal care formulations—particularly in shampoos, conditioners, and body washes—for its ability to enhance product aesthetics, texture, and stability.

EGDS typically appears as waxy flakes or a pearlescent solid and is valued for its multifunctional performance as an opacifying agent, viscosity modifier, and emollient. It imparts a characteristic pearlized or creamy appearance to formulations, contributing to a richer visual profile and improved consumer appeal.

In addition to its aesthetic benefits, EGDS helps to create a smooth, conditioned feel on the skin and hair, while supporting formulation stability by maintaining uniform consistency and preventing phase separation.
