About PEG-3 Distearate

PEG-3 Distearate is the polyethylene glycol diester of stearic acid.[1] The number 3 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. Within the same basic structure, changing this number can affect water miscibility and the formulation’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
