  • Applications

    Acetylated glycol stearate (CAS 22613-51-0) is used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as an emollient and conditioning agent, improving skin and hair feel in creams, lotions, and hair care products. It often serves as a pearlescent or opacifying additive to impart a soft shimmer in rinse-off products such as cleansers and shampoos. It can function as a surfactant or co-emulsifier to enhance emulsion stability and texture. It also acts as a lubricant or slip agent and processing aid in polymer, plastics, and coating formulations to improve handling and finish. Additionally, it may be used as a surface-modifying additive in coatings, inks, and adhesives to adjust gloss and tactile properties. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
