Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) Manufacturer
Ethylene Glycol Distearate (EGDS) is a specialty glycol ester widely used in rinse-off personal care formulations to create a premium pearlescent appearance while improving product texture and stability. It is especially valued by formulators because it performs multiple functions within a single ingredient—it acts as a pearlizing agent, opacifier, viscosity modifier, and secondary emulsifier.
Unlike ingredients that simply improve appearance, EGDS contributes to the overall sensory experience of a product. When incorporated under controlled processing conditions, it forms fine crystalline structures that give shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps their characteristic creamy, pearl-like finish. At the same time, it enhances formulation body and provides a smoother, richer feel during application.
Chemsynth India manufactures high-quality Ethylene Glycol Distearate (CAS No. 627-83-8) for cosmetic, personal care, and specialty chemical manufacturers. Our EGDS is produced under stringent quality standards to ensure consistent appearance, reliable dispersion in surfactant systems, and dependable batch-to-batch performance.
