PEG 150 Di-stearate
Peg - 150 Distearate
PEG-150 Distearate is a versatile compound utilized in the cosmetic and personal care industry. Derived from polyethylene glycol (PEG) and stearic acid, it serves as an emulsifier, surfactant, and thickening agent. In cosmetic formulations like lotions, creams, and shampoos, PEG-150 Distearate plays a crucial role in stabilizing and blending oil and water-based ingredients.
By improving texture and consistency, it imparts a smooth and creamy feel to these products. The emulsifying properties of PEG-150 Distearate ensure the uniform dispersion of ingredients, preventing separation and contributing to the stability and shelf life of formulations.
This enhances the overall quality of cosmetic products. While PEG-150 Distearate is generally considered safe within approved concentrations, individuals with specific sensitivities or allergies should exercise caution. Reviewing product labels and seeking advice from healthcare professionals can help ensure its appropriate use.
