PEG-150 Distearate

Thickener & Opacifier for Creamy, Pearlized Cleansers

INCI Name: PEG-150 Distearate

Appearance: Off-white flakes

Solubility: Water-dispersible

Usage Rate: 0.5% – 5%

Function: Thickener, opacifier, and pearlizing agent

PEG-150 Distearate is a mild, non-ionic surfactant used as a thickener and opacifier in personal care formulations. It provides rich, creamy texture and helps stabilize foaming systems in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
Why Use PEG-150 Distearate?

This thickener is a common choice for formulators seeking to add viscosity, opacity, and pearlescent texture to surfactant-based systems. It is easy to use, stable across pH ranges, and compatible with anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants.

PEG-150 Distearate does not contribute significantly to cleansing or irritation, making it ideal for gentle formulations such as baby products, sensitive skin cleansers, and sulfate-free systems.

Key Benefits:
- Adds rich, creamy texture and opacity
- Improves viscosity without affecting foam stability
- Reduces irritation potential in surfactant systems
- Compatible with most common surfactants
- Stable over a wide pH range (pH 4–9)
Applications:
- Shampoos and co-washes
- Facial cleansers and body washes
- Bubble baths and baby cleansers
- Men’s grooming products
Usage Guidelines:
- Add to the heated water phase (typically 60–75°C)
- Usage rate of 0.5–2% for light thickening, 3–5% for high viscosity systems
- May be combined with salt or other thickeners for synergistic effect
- Vegan and cruelty-free
