  • Glycol Distearate coming out of my ears!

    Posted by SBeinker on November 21, 2015 at 12:14 pm
    After reading TheBeautyBrains - “Guide To How Beauty Products Work.”  I wanted to mix a 2-in-1 shampoo formula of my own.  The key ingredients to the “conditioning” part of this formula is a mixture of Glycol Distearate and Dimethicone.  I found all the ingredients needed at the common online chemical suppliers but could only find the Glycol Distearate in a minimum quantity of 55 lbs.!  I went ahead and ordered it, but now have about 54 lbs. too much!  It worked out to cost about $5.00 / lbs. with shipping…….Would anyone like to buy some Glycol Distearate in smaller amounts of around 1 to 5 lbs.?
    Thanks,

    That’s a lot of glycol distearate!  You could make 540 lbs of shampoo.

    Sorry, I don’t need any at the moment but perhaps someone on the forum will.
