Glycol distereate is the diester of stearic acid and ethylene glycol. It is used in cosmetic products (creams, shampoos, moisturizers, soaps) because of its pearlescent, opacity and moisturizing effects as well as its high foaming capacity. It is also used as a food additive. There are no known safety concerns.
