| Description | PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate is a polyethylene glycol ether of the mono anddiesters of methyl glucose and stearic acid with an average of 20 moles of ethylene oxide. |
| Features And Benefits | PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate is used for its emulsifying properties in cosmetic products. As an emulsifier, it gives stability to the product and prevents the oil and water-based components of the product from getting separated. Since molecules dissolving in water can take up the PEG part and oil dissolving molecules will get attached to the stearate part. So, it reduces a chance of inter-reaction of various ingredients and gives noticeable stability to the product. It also functions as a thickener by attracting water molecules and gives a sort of 'swollen' appearance to its molecule. It enhances its overall performance of the product on the skin or hair surface. A watery or less thick formulation may not feel appealing to customer and it may not show promising performance as well. It is used in formulations of creams, lotions, gels, shampoos, and other skincare products. |
| Recommended Dosage | Recommended use level is 0.5 to 3.0 wt% as supplied. |
| Uses | A mild, water-loving emulsifier that's safe for sensitive skin or eye-care formulations. It helps to create low viscosity oil-in-water emulsions, ideal for milks, serums, and sprayable formulations. It's derived from natural sources and gives a light, satiny afterfeel. |
