Frequently Asked Questions

!What is ethylene glycol monostearate (EGMS) mainly used for?

"EGMS is a common pearlizing agent/emulsifier, widely used in shampoo, body wash, hand wash, lotions and liquid detergents. It gives products a fine pearlescent effect and provides emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing and some thickening functions.

!What is the difference between EGMS and EGDS?

"EGMS is ethylene glycol monostearate and EGDS is the distearate. Both are pearlizing agents; EGDS gives a stronger pearl and suits hot processing, while EGMS gives a softer pearl. Commercial flakes are often a mono/di blend (distinguished by monoester content), selectable by pearl effect and process.

!How is the pearlescent flake used? Can it be cold-processed?

"The flake is usually melted and dispersed with heat to develop the pearl. For a cold process, it is recommended to pre-make the flake into a pearl concentrate before adding it to the system, to ensure a uniform, stable pearl. The exact process depends on the formulation.
