Ethylene Glycol Distearate, or EGDS for short, is the crucial ingredient in pearlescent-looking personal care products and cosmetics. EGDS Glycol dissolves and emulsifies upon heating(at least 75℃) in the surfactant complex and precipitates out lens-like crystals during cooling, thus producing a pearlescent luster. It plays a 3-in-1 role in the formula, i.e., Surfactant, Opacifier, and Pearlizing agent.

Yeser® EGDS is gentle on the skin with low irritation. It features superior opacifying performance and a bright white appearance, making the final product more substantial and demonstrating a soft, velvety feel. It also can easily dissolve in water and is highly compatible with many other surfactants.

Yeser Chemicals is a leading manufacturer of Ethylene Glycol Distearate in quality and scale, with a 50,000 MT annual output capacity. The user list of Yeser® EGDS includes many globally known names, including P&GUnileverLiby, and Kao.
