Pure Natural PEG-150 Distearate is an ester made from the reaction of vegetable-derived triple-pressed grade stearic acid. In addition it is a defined high molecular weight polyethylene glycol. It is commonly use to thicken mild, amphoteric-containing surfactant systems, such as baby shampoos, baby baths, facial scrubs, facial cleansers, body washes, body scrubs and shaving foams. PEG-150 Distearate is a Polyethylene glycol diester of stearic acid. White flake, characteristic odor, slightly cloudy in water, clear in surfactant-containing solutions. HLB 18.9 (gives oil-in-water emulsions). Soluble in water. Appearance: PEG-150 Distearate typically appears as white flakes with a characteristic odor. It may exhibit slight cloudiness when added to water but becomes clear when incorporated into solutions containing surfactants. Emulsifying Agent: PEG-150 Distearate has a relatively high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value of 18.
