PEG-20 methyl glucose distearate (CAS 119831-19-5) is a non-ionic, ethoxylated sugar-based emulsifier derived from glucose. Also known as Methyl gluceth-20 distearate and commercially as Glucam E-20 Distearate.

Where is PEG-20 methyl glucose distearate used?

• Skin care: anchors emulsion stability in lotions and creams
• Hair care: conditioning treatments and detangling creams for spreadability
• Mild cleansing systems: foam texture and skin feel
• Home care and industrial cleaning: stabilizes emulsified cleaning concentrates
• It stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions while providing humectancy.

Good to know: By drawing moisture to the skin surface, it reduces the need for additional humectants. It helps distribute actives evenly through the hair shaft.
