Application
PEG-150 Distearate is an associative rheology modifier that exhibits significant thickening effects in surfactant systems. It is used in shampoos, conditioners, bath products, and other personal care products. It help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified and help other ingredients to dissolve in a solvent in which they would not normally dissolve. It stabilizes foam and reduces irritation. Furthermore, it functions as a surfactant and serves as a fundamental ingredient in many cleansing products. It can mix with water and the oils and dirt on the skin, making it easy to rinse off dirt from the skin.
The properties of PEG-150 Distearate is as follows.
1) Exceptional transparency in higher surfactant system.
2) Effective thickener for surfactant-containing products (e.g. shampoo, conditioner, shower gels).
3) Solubilizer for various water-insoluble ingredients.
4) Has good co-emulsifying properties in creams & lotions.
