Glycol MonoStearate (EGMS) is the mono-ester of ethylene glycol and stearic acid, produced as white flakes or powder. 2-Hydroxyethyl stearate functions as a nonionic surfactant and pearlising agent, giving shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and lotions a distinctive pearly appearance while also providing opacity and viscosity support. Ethylene glycol monostearate's lamellar crystalline structure allows light scattering, enhancing the sensory profile of formulations. Also referred to as Ethylene glycol monostearate by Glycol Monostearate &2-Hydroxyethyl stearate manufacturers. We are the leading, trusted Glycol MonoStearate supplier worldwide and in the United States, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.
