Product Description

PEG-150 Distearate

PEG-150 Distearate is a non-ionic emulsifier derived from polyethylene glycol (PEG) and stearic acid. It is a solid that is soluble in oils and organic solvents, making it an effective emulsifying agent. Its unique properties allow it to stabilize emulsions and enhance the texture and feel of formulations.

We provide premium cosmetic-grade PEG-150 Distearate, a high-performance emulsifier and viscosity modifier designed to elevate your skincare and haircare products. Known for its excellent stabilizing and thickening properties, PEG-150 Distearate ensures smooth, luxurious textures in creams, lotions, and conditioners while improving spreadability and skin feel. Ideal for emulsions, cleansers, and moisturizers, this versatile ingredient enhances product stability and delivers a silky, non-greasy finish.

Key Benefits

Serves as a secondary cleanser in facial cleansers and body washes, enhancing surface activity and oil-dissolving capacity while reducing irritation from primary surfactants.

Effective thickener for surfactant-containing products (e.g. shampoo, conditioner, shower gels).

Solubilizer for various water-insoluble ingredients and exhibits good co-emulsifying properties in creams & lotions.
