THE STORY OF NANOEMUL EDS
Nanoemul EDS: The Pearlizing Agent that Adds Shine, Smoothness & Luxury
Nanoemul EDS (Ethylene Glycol Distearate) is a pearlizing and opacifying agent used in shampoos, body washes, and cleansers to create a creamy, luxurious, pearlescent appearance.
It also acts as a skin-conditioning emollient, improving texture, smoothness, and viscosity in surfactant-based systems.
A Stearic Acid Ester Crafted for Aesthetic Enhancement
Nanoemul EDS is produced through the esterification of:
• Ethylene glycol
• Stearic acid (vegetable-derived fatty acid)
The result is a waxy, white crystalline solid known for creating shimmering pearl effects in liquid cleansers.
TRCkem supplies high-purity cosmetic-grade nanoemul EDS with excellent dispersibility in surfactant systems.
Pearlize. Condition. Beautify.
Nanoemul EDS delivers multiple formulation benefits:
✅ Creates creamy pearlescent shine in surfactant formulas
✅ Improves texture, thickness, and visual appeal
✅ Adds light emolliency for smoother skin feel
✅ Enhances long-term stability of cleanser systems
Used in: shampoos, body washes, face cleansers, moisturizing shower gels, and baby bath products.
