Glycol Distearate – 500g

Glycol Distearate (Lasemul 2/62) – 500g

Glycol Distearate, also known as Lasemul 2/62, is a versatile cosmetic ingredient widely used in personal care and hair care formulations. Recognized for its opacifying and pearlizing properties, it enhances the look and feel of shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and lotions. Beyond visual appeal, it also improves the texture and sensory experience of finished products, making them feel more luxurious and professional.

For Glycol Distearate (EGDS) in liquid soap, you generally need to melt it first because it is a solid pearlising agent.

How to add Glycol Distearate

1. Weigh your Glycol Distearate
   Start at 1–1.5% of the finished batch. For 1 kg soap, that’s 10–15 g.
2. Take a small portion of your surfactant blend
   Put about 5–10 times the weight of the Glycol Distearate into a separate heat-safe container.
3. Heat the surfactant portion
   Gently heat to approximately 70–75°C.
4. Add the Glycol Distearate
   Add it slowly while stirring until it is completely melted and uniform.
5. Add the mixture back to your main batch
   Slowly incorporate it while mixing gently to avoid excessive foam.
6. Cool the soap gradually
   Continue gentle mixing as it cools. The pearly/opaque appearance develops as the Glycol Distearate crystallises.
