Methyl Gluceth 20
Description
Methyl Gluceth 20 (CAS 68239-42-9 ) is a polyethoxylated methyl glucoside derived from glucose, functioning as a mild humectant, emulsifier, and solubilizer in personal care and pharmaceutical formulations. Its glucose-based origin positions it as a preferred ingredient where skin compatibility and mildness are primary sourcing criteria. In skincare formulations, it attracts and retains moisture in the skin. This makes it a functional humectant in lotions, creams, and serums targeting hydration claims. It solubilizes fragrances, botanical extracts, and active ingredients in aqueous systems, reducing the need for harsher co-solvents. In cleansing products such as facial washes and body washes, it contributes to a conditioning after-feel while supporting emulsification of oil-phase components. This versatility is key for modern cosmetic chemistry. Pharmaceutical topical formulations use it as a carrier and emollient base component in creams and gels where skin tolerance is a critical formulation requirement. It ensures stability and performance in medical applications. Methyl Gluceth 20 is supplied as a clear to slightly hazy viscous liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications to meet the purity requirements of different regulated markets. Bulk supply is standard in drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), with documentation packages typically including CoA and safety data to support regulatory submissions and quality assurance protocols.
