Product Description

Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate

Product Description

A combination of glycol, fatty acid, and glucose that serves multiple roles in cosmetic formulations. It can function as a mild cleansing agent or an (O/W) oil-in-water emulsifier while providing emollient properties to leave the skin feeling soft and smooth.

It generally contributes to a soft, smooth afterfeel on the skin, making it an essential component for high-quality personal care products.

Superior Emulsification: Forms exceptionally stable oil-in-water systems.
Natural Origin: Derived from plant-based glucose and stearic acid.
Enhanced Sensory Profile: Delivers lightweight, non-greasy textures.
Broad Compatibility: Perfect for serums, moisturizers, and sunscreens.
Gentle Performance: Suitable for sensitive skin and mild haircare.

Key Benefits

Hydrophilicity

Enhanced Hydrophilicity

The PEG-20 chain boosts water solubility, enabling clear formulations and improved dispersion of oils in aqueous systems.

Emulsification

Stable Emulsification

Forms fine-particle emulsions with long-term stability, ideal for high-oil-content creams and serums.

Solubilization

Solubilization of Actives

Encapsulates and solubilizes lipophilic ingredients in water-based products, preventing phase separation.

Recommended Usage

Emulsifier: 1.5%–3.5% (2.5% for light lotions, 3–3.5% for rich creams)

Solubilizer: 2%–5% (e.g., 3% to solubilize 1% jojoba oil in facial toners)

Foam Booster in Cleansers: 1%–2% (combined with mild surfactants like coco-glucoside)

Usage

Applications

Commonly used in foaming facial washes, serums, gels, and lotions to enhance texture and stability.
