:

Propylene glycol monostearate

Description:
Propylene glycol monostearate (PGMS), with the CAS number 1323-39-3, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. It is derived from the esterification of propylene glycol and stearic acid. PGMS is characterized by its ability to reduce surface tension, facilitating the mixing of oil and water phases, which makes it an effective emulsifying agent. It appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy substance and is soluble in oils but has limited solubility in water. This compound is known for its stability under a range of pH conditions and temperatures, making it suitable for various applications. Additionally, PGMS is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food products, and it is valued for its mildness, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations in cosmetics. Its properties also include acting as a thickening agent and providing a smooth texture in formulations. Overall, propylene glycol monostearate is a versatile ingredient widely utilized across multiple industries.
