Ethylene glycol distearate is a long and difficult word, but it’s an important ingredient that helps create many personal care products that are in our duffel bags. It’s found in products like shampoo, soap and lotion. Let’s get into what makes ethylene glycol distearate so good for our skin and hair, and how it functions in these products.
So what, precisely, is ethylene glycol distearate? On the blood circulation, it is a special compound made up of two ingredients where one is stearic acid and another is ethylene glycol. Together, they form a white, waxy solid with incredible benefits. Ethylene glycol distearate, used in personal care products, is a surfactant. Surfactants are special ingredients that help water penetrate better and work more efficiently. Judging by its structure, we then understand that common surfactants are made up of hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends, which is super important when we use shampoo or soap because these are the ones that generate the foamy bubbles that we all love!
Besides this, one of the most wonderful aspects about ethylene glycol distearate is that it has a great capability to form thick and soft bubbles or what we might refer to as lather or foam. Which is why you’ll find it in many shampoos and body washes. Dip a molecule of ethylene glycol distearate into the water and it will align itself in lines and form little balls called micelles. These micelles act like minuscule traps, capturing dirt and oil. When we wash the product off, dirt and oil wash away with it. And it means that not only do we love the way our skin and hair feel when using products with ethylene glycol distearate, they also feel fresh and good!
Not only does ethylene glycol distearate makes bubbles, it is also fantastic for softening our skin and hair. It keeps our skin and hair in tiptop shape, when added into lotions or conditioners. Hydration is what keeps our skin and hair soft, smooth, and shiny. This is especially beneficial for those suffering from dry or itchy skin because ethylene glycol distearate provides relief by soothing and calming irritation and making it feel more comfortable.
