PEG-150 Distearate is a Polyethylene glycol diester of stearic acid.

Uses and Benefits of PEG-150 Distearate
PEG-150 Distearate can be used as an emulsifier and thickener as it contains water-loving PEG and oil-loving stearic acid.
PEG is a relatively bulky molecule, plus it has several chemical groups that can hold and attract water molecules.
So in a formulation, PEG-150 Distearate can increase the thickness due to this swelling of the molecule.
Also, PEG-150 Distearate as a thickener stabilizes the product and improves the overall performance of PEG-150 Distearate on the skin.

It also acts as an emulsifier, which adds stability to the product and prevents separation of the oil and water-based components of the product.
PEG-150 Distearate also acts as a surfactant and forms the basis of many cleaning products.
PEG-150 Distearate mixes with water, oil and dirt on the skin. Dirt is easily rinsed from skin water.
PEG-150 Distearate is used in shampoos, conditioners, bath products and other personal care products.

PEG-150 Distearate Applications
PEG-150 Distearate is a water-soluble nonionic surfactant and thickener ideal for adding a soft, silky finish to skin cleansing products.
PEG-150 Distearate is a relubricating agent that can reduce skin irritation and improve the feeling of dryness and tightness in the skin.
It can prevent the hair from drying out and reduce the electrostatic effect between the hair by giving a softer feel in hair styling.
PEG-150 Distearate can provide good consistency and stability for use in bath preparations such as shampoo and shower, as well as emulsion in cosmetics.
Also in O/W lotion and cream products as base oil and fragrance solvents and co-emulsifiers.

Functions of PEG-150 Distearate
PEG 150 is used as a surfactant and cleansing agent in beauty products and cosmetics, and is sometimes seen as a thickening agent.
PEGs are controversial ingredients in cosmetics and beauty products, in part because of their ability to penetrate the skin and be absorbed by the body, or aid in the absorption of other chemicals and ingredients.
Despite many fears about PEGs, they are seen as a component of numerous products due to their diverse properties.
PEG 150 is not considered an irritant or sensitizer and is CIR and FDA approved for use, but not on broken skin.

PEG-150 Distearate DESCRIPTION
General description
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polymer of ethylene oxide and water obtained on condensation.
PEGs are susceptible to oxidative degradation in the presence of air.
Minimizing PEG exposure to high temperatures and/or oxygen exposure or the addition of an antioxidant can limit the amount of degradation.
PEGs do not hydrolyze or degrade during storage.
PEGs do not support mold growth.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is used in detergents, emulsifying agents, soaps, metal costing processes, pharmaceutical preparations, and cosmetics.
PEG is commonly used as a lubricant.
PEG-150 Distearate application is also observed in chromatographic stationary phases. PEG inhibits crystal formation in emulsions.
