Overview of PEG-100 Stearate

PEG-100 Stearate is a water-soluble emulsifier widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It helps blend oil and water components smoothly, ensuring stable emulsions with a pleasant texture. This ingredient is suitable for creams, lotions, serums, and hair care products, providing soft, non-greasy, and well-balanced formulations.

PEG-100 Stearate is available in a white-to-off-white waxy solid, which is easily disolvable in water-based solutions. It is frequently combined with Glyceryl Stearate to improve stability and emulsification.
