ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOSTEARATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Beads

Uses

Pegosperse(R) 50 MS is a low HLB surface agent suggested for use as an opacifier, pearlescing agent and auxiliary emulsifier in cosmetic and household product formulations.

Uses

glycol stearate can be utilized as a detergent, emulsifier, surfactant, thickener, stabilizer, and emollient in cosmetic formulations. It also converts clear cleansers or other preparations to ones that are pearly.

Uses

ethylene glycol monostearate (glycol stearate) is a non-comedogenic raw material that provides a pearly look and consistency to clear preparations.

Definition

ChEBI: Polyoxyl 40 stearate is an octadecanoate ester composed of repeating 8-40 ethyleneoxy units. It is an ingredient used in cosmetics and beauty products primarily as a surfactant and emulsifier. It has a role as a nonionic surfactant, an emulsifier and a food emulsifier. It is a hydroxypolyether and an octadecanoate ester.

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. A skin irritant. Used in cosmetics. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS.
