PEG 150 Distearate

PEG 150 Distearate (PEG-150 Distearate) is a versatile cosmetic ingredient designed for enhancing the performance of various formulations. As a polyethylene glycol diester of stearic acid, it boasts a high HLB value of 18.9, making it particularly effective for creating stable oil-in-water emulsions. While it appears slightly cloudy in water, it becomes clear when incorporated into surfactant-containing solutions. This ingredient serves multiple purposes, acting as an effective thickener in products such as shampoos, conditioners, and shower gels, while also functioning as a solubilizer for water-insoluble ingredients. Additionally, it exhibits excellent co-emulsifying properties in creams and lotions, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture in your favorite cosmetic products.
