Polyethylene glycol distearate (PEG distearate) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent commonly used in various industrial and cosmetic applications. It is derived from the esterification of polyethylene glycol with stearic acid, resulting in a compound that exhibits both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. This amphiphilic nature allows PEG distearate to effectively stabilize emulsions, making it valuable in formulations such as creams, lotions, and ointments. The substance is typically characterized by its waxy solid appearance and is soluble in organic solvents while being insoluble in water. PEG distearate is known for its ability to enhance the texture and spreadability of products, contributing to a smooth and creamy feel. Additionally, it has low toxicity and is generally regarded as safe for use in personal care products. Its applications extend beyond cosmetics to include food processing and pharmaceuticals, where it serves as a stabilizer and thickening agent. Overall, PEG distearate is a versatile ingredient that plays a crucial role in improving the performance and stability of various formulations.

Poly(ethylene glycol) distearate is a surfactant that is used for the preparation of optical, solid-state, and lamellar liquid crystals. It has been shown to form micelles in alkali metal solutions with a lamellar phase at low temperatures. This polymerized material can be easily desorbed from the micelles by adding perchlorates to the solution. The transition temperature of this polymerized material is determined by the length of its alkyl chains. Poly(ethylene glycol) distearate has also been used as a magnetic material and as a diffraction grating in microscopy experiments.
