INCI name: Ethylene Glycol Distearate
CAS No.: 627-83-8

Ethylene Glycol Distearate is the crucial ingredient in pearlescent-looking personal care products and cosmetics. EGDS Glycol dissolves and emulsifies upon heating(at least 75℃) in the surfactant complex and precipitates out lens-like crystals during cooling, thus producing a pearlescent luster. It plays a 3-in-1 role in the formula, i.e., Surfactant, Opacifier, and Pearlizing agent.

EGDS is gentle on the skin with low irritation. It features superior opacifying performance and a bright white appearance, making the final product more substantial and demonstrating a soft, velvety feel. It also can easily dissolve in water and is highly compatible with many other surfactants.
