  • Applications

    D-Glucitol distearate (CAS 68317-50-0) is a sugar ester commonly used as an emollient and emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care, contributing to skin feel, moisturization, and formulation stability; it can also serve as a lubricant or processing aid in polymer and plastics manufacturing, aiding slip during compounding; in coatings and inks it functions as a wax‑like emulsifier or flow modifier to improve texture, gloss, and film properties; in cleaning and household products it can act as a nonionic surfactant/emulsifier to aid dispersion of ingredients. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
