Product Description

PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether is a non-ionic, multi-functional humectant, emollient, and fragrance fixative derived from natural glucose. It is widely used in high-end personal care, skincare, fragrance, and cosmetic formulations due to its excellent amphiphilic solubility, viscosity-reducing and foam-boosting properties, as well as its anti-freeze and freeze-thaw resistance characteristics.

Core Functions & Advantages

1. High-Efficiency Moisturizing
Polyol Moisturization: Features a polyhydroxy structure with strong water-locking capabilities, providing a silky, non-sticky skin feel.
Glycerin / Propylene Glycol Alternative: Reduces the heaviness associated with traditional humectants and enhances skin freshness.
2. Viscosity & Foam Control
Surfactant Viscosity Control: Maintains good fluidity for shampoos and shower gels across a temperature range of 0–40 °C.
Mild Foam Boosting & Stabilizing: Creates denser, longer-lasting foam.
3. Anti-Freeze Resistance
Freezing Point Depression: Significantly lowers the freezing point of formulations, preventing thickening or clumping during winter storage.
4. Fragrance Fixation
Fragrance Fixative: Retards the evaporation of top notes, extending the longevity of the scent.
Hydrotrope / Solubilizer: Assists in dissolving fragrances and oil-soluble active ingredients within aqueous systems.
5. Irritation Reduction
Mildness Enhancer: Mitigates the stinging sensation and irritation caused by alcohol and surfactants on the skin.
6. Hair Conditioning & Shine
Combability & Gloss: Improves both wet and dry combability of hair, adding shine and smoothness.

Main Application Areas (Recommended Dosage: 0.5–5%)

1. Hair Care
Shampoos & Conditioners: Viscosity reduction, foam boosting, moisturizing, and adding shine.
Hair Masks & Hot Oil Treatments: Smoothing, repairing, and improving combability.
Wig & Hair Extension Care: Hydration, gloss enhancement, and prevention of dryness.
2. Skin Care
Lotions, Creams & Eye Creams: Moisturizing, emolliency, and improving sensory feel (skin feel).
Alcohol-based Products (Aftershaves, Toners): Reducing stinging sensation, solubilization, and hydration.
Hand & Body Lotions: Long-lasting moisturizing and prevention of chapping/cracking.
3. Cleansing Products
Shower Gels & Hand Soaps: Viscosity control, foam stabilization, and mild moisturizing.
Facial Cleansers & Makeup Removers: Low irritation, easy rinse-off, and non-tightening effect (preventing the "squeaky clean" tight feeling).
4. Fragrance & Cosmetics
Perfumes, Colognes & Aromatherapy: Fragrance fixation, solubilization, and reducing alcohol irritation.
Nail Polish & Nail Care: Plasticizing, gloss enhancement, and co-solvency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether?
PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether is a non-ionic, multi-functional humectant, emollient, and fragrance fixative derived naturally from glucose. It is designed for personal care, cosmetic, and fragrance formulations.
What is the recommended dosage in cosmetic formulations?
The recommended usage level for PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether typically ranges from 0.5% to 5%, depending on the specific application (hair care, skincare, or fragrances).
How does it compare to traditional humectants like Glycerin?
Unlike traditional humectants such as Glycerin or Propylene Glycol, PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether provides high-efficiency moisturization while significantly reducing heaviness and stickiness, offering a fresher, silkier skin feel.
What role does it play in alcohol-based products like perfumes?
It acts as an effective fragrance fixative by retarding the evaporation of top notes, thereby extending scent longevity. Additionally, it helps reduce the stinging sensation and skin irritation caused by alcohol.
How should PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether be stored?
It should be stored in a sealed container kept in a cool, dry, and lightproof environment, strictly away from heat sources and fire hazards.
