Description :

Overview of Ethylene Glycol Monostearate

Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) is a versatile emulsifier and thickening agent used widely in cosmetic, personal care, and industrial formulations. It helps stabilise oil-in-water emulsions, enhances texture, and provides smooth, creamy consistency in creams, lotions, and hair care products.

In formulations, Ethylene Glycol Monostearate is commonly combined with Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to improve emulsion stability, spreadability, and skin feel. ChemicalBull supplies high-quality EGMS suitable for cosmetic, personal care, and speciality industrial applications.

Applications of Ethylene Glycol Monostearate

Skincare and Cosmetic Formulations

EGMS is widely used in creams, lotions, body butters, and serums to provide smooth texture, improved spreadability, and enhanced skin feel. It helps maintain stable emulsions and prevents separation, often blended with Cetearyl Alcohol and Stearic Acid for optimised consistency.

Hair Care Products

In shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, EGMS acts as a thickener and conditioning aid, improving texture and manageability. It works synergistically with Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and other conditioning agents for superior hair softness.

Industrial and Speciality Applications

EGMS is also used in pharmaceutical ointments, lubricants, and speciality industrial emulsions requiring stability, smooth texture, and controlled viscosity.

Emulsion and Texture Enhancer

As an emulsifier, Ethylene Glycol Monostearate ensures homogeneous blending of oil and water phases in cosmetic and industrial products, enhancing overall product performance and aesthetic appeal.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight

• Keep containers tightly closed to prevent contamination

• Avoid prolonged skin contact and eye exposure

• Follow cosmetic-grade handling and regulatory practices
