Ethylene Glycol Monostearate
Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS)—also known as Glycol Stearate—is an organic compound. It is a monoester of ethylene glycol, commonly utilized in cosmetic products—such as body washes, shampoos, and skin lotions—as an emulsifier, dispersant, and solubilizer.

【Product Functions and Applications】
1. Daily Chemicals and Personal Care Industry
This product is widely incorporated into daily chemical formulations—including shampoos, bath gels, skin lotions, and high-end liquid detergents—where it serves as an effective thickening agent, foam stabilizer, and aesthetic enhancer, improving both the texture and luster of the final product. When utilizing a cold-processing method during manufacturing, it is recommended to pre-prepare the pearlescent flakes into a pearlescent slurry before adding them to the main system to ensure a uniform and stable pearlescent effect.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this product functions as a pearlescent dispersant, solubilizer, and lubricant. It is employed to enhance the uniformity, dissolution rate, and processing characteristics of medicinal formulations, making it suitable for use in the processing of various topical medications and daily-use pharmaceutical products.
3. Metalworking and Fiber Processing Industries
In the metalworking sector, this product acts as a lubricating and solubilizing auxiliary agent within metalworking fluids, thereby improving system stability and processing smoothness. In the field of fiber processing, it demonstrates excellent dispersibility and compatibility, effectively enhancing the efficiency and quality of processes such as spinning and post-treatment. 【Product Summary】
