Polyoxyethylene methyl glucoside

Polyoxyethylene methyl glucoside (CAS 53026-67-8) is a glucose-derived polyol used as a humectant, emulsifier, and solvent carrier in personal care and industrial formulations.

Where is Polyoxyethylene methyl glucoside used?

• Skin and hair care: humectant that draws and retains moisture, improving skin feel in lotions, creams, and conditioning treatments
• Textile and leather processing: wetting and dispersing agent that improves dye uptake and even penetration of finishing treatments
• Agrochemicals: carrier and co-solvent that solubilizes active ingredients for uniform delivery of crop protection agents
• Paper processing aids: emulsifier for consistent dispersion of treatment chemicals
• Its ethoxylated structure delivers moisture-binding and dispersing performance in aqueous and mixed-solvent systems.

Good to know: Cosmetic-grade material meets purity requirements suitable for leave-on and rinse-off personal care applications.
