Ethylene Glycol Distearate

About Ethylene Glycol Distearate

EDGS stands for Ethylene Diamine, Tetraacetic Acid, Disodium Salt, and Glycine, Sodium Salt. It is a combination of two ingredients:

1. EDTA (Ethylene Diamine, Tetraacetic Acid, Disodium Salt): A chelating agent that binds to metal ions, making it useful in various applications.

2. Glycine, Sodium Salt: An amino acid that helps to stabilize and enhance the effectiveness of EDTA.

EDGS is commonly used in:

- Personal care products (e.g., skincare, haircare) as a chelating agent and antioxidant.

- Pharmaceuticals as an excipient and stabilizer.

- Food industry as a preservative and texture modifier.

- Industrial applications (e.g., water treatment, textile manufacturing) as a chelating agent and corrosion inhibitor.

EDGS has properties such as:

- Chelating and sequestering metal ions

- Antioxidant and stabilizing effects

- pH buffering and adjusting

- Good solubility in water
