Product Description
Ethylene glycol monostearate (EGMS), also known as glycol stearate, is an organic compound. It is a diester of ethylene glycol and stearic acid, commonly used as an emulsifier, dispersant, and solubilizer in cosmetics, including shower gels, shampoos, and body washes.
Product Functional Category and Applications
Used in shampoos, bath gels, body creams, and high-grade liquid detergents. It can also be used as a pearlescent dispersant, solubilizer, lubricant in pharmaceutical production, and as a detergent in fiber processing. When the product is prepared using a cold-mixing method, the pearlescent flakes must be pre-formed into a pearlescent paste.
