Well, glycol distearate is a wax, and it is just added to shampoo to produce the pearlescent color. It has been passed by the FDA as safe, so it's used in just about every cosmetic product you can find. It also increases the volume of the shampoo by a considerable amount, so it's a favorite among shampoo companies.

And no, glycol distearate is NOT harmful. It's similar to glycerine.

It is used in countless products for human consumption because it has been passed by the FDA as safe. a trial done on rats had no effect on them at all and yes they use it in antifreeze in places where food contamination might happen eg fridges because the other antifreeze would probably kill you if it got on your food so they add that because we can consume it and it works also in the antifreeze.

hope that cleared it up.
