Global Optimals’ pearlescent concentrate is a premium nacreous agent based on 25‑30 % ethylene glycol distearate, supplied as a white paste at 45‑50 °C. Ethylene glycol distearate belongs to the family of fatty‑acid esters that crystallize into thin plate‑like particles, which diffract light and generate the characteristic iridescent sheen reminiscent of natural nacre. This optical behavior makes the concentrate valuable not only in shampoos, shower gels and liquid soaps, but also in baby‑care shampoos, body lotions, color‑changing cosmetics, and even in detergent powders where a visual differentiation is desired. The ester readily blends with a wide range of surfactants—anionics, cationics, non‑ionic, as well as with glycerol esters and silicone fluids—allowing stable emulsions even in high‑salt environments. Its compatibility with most fragrance oils and active ingredients means formulators can incorporate it without risk of precipitation, and it can be combined with polymeric film‑formers (e.g., PEG‑based or quaternary polymers) to enhance depth of colour. Recommended storage conditions are a dry environment at 5‑30 °C, protected from direct sunlight, which prevents photodegradation of the crystalline structure. When introduced into a batch, the concentrate dissolves within 5‑10 minutes of mixing, forming a uniform emulsion; high‑speed mixers or ultrasonic dispersers can be used to accelerate dispersion if needed. Technical documentation (TDS, SDS, COA) is available electronically. The typical usage level in finished products is 0.5‑1 % of the total batch, delivering cost‑effective brilliance, while more demanding visual effects can be achieved at up to 2 % without compromising stability. Its low toxicity and good biodegradability support applications in eco‑friendly household‑chemical lines, aligning with sustainability goals.

The pearlescent concentrate must be stored in a dry, well‑ventilated area at a controlled temperature of approximately 15 °C–25 °C, protected from direct sunlight and sudden temperature fluctuations. When stored under these conditions the product typically retains its performance for 12–24 months. Operators should wear protective gloves and safety glasses, avoiding skin and eye contact. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture ingress and contamination, which could compromise the paste’s stability.
