PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether Distearate is a propoxylated methyl glucose ether, a moderate-viscosity pale, amber liquid with a characteristic odor. It is an effective emollient and moisturizer for skin care products.
PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether Distearate is derived from corn and used in lotions, creams, and cleansing formulations. It brings emollience to products and improves barrier function, reducing water loss from the stratum corneum. Although it is not entirely occlusive, it allows some water transport.
PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether Distearate is an easy-to-use liquid that can be readily formulated into a wide range of products. It offers unique emollient properties to formulations and provides barrier film formation properties.
PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether Distearate exhibits unusual slip properties and imparts a light, smooth, nongreasy feel. Its use levels range from 0.1% to 5.0%, depending on application and the emollience required.Functions
