PEG-150 Distearate

PEG-150 Distearate is a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol diester created by reacting 150 moles of ethylene oxide with two molecules of stearic acid. This large PEG chain gives it exceptional thickening and stabilizing properties in surfactant systems, making it particularly valuable in shampoos and body washes where it creates pearlescent effects and builds viscosity without heavy feel. Formulators choose it specifically for its ability to enhance foam quality, provide elegant texture, and stabilize formulations containing high levels of surfactants, while its high HLB value ensures good water solubility and rinsability.
