Methyl glucoside propoxylate

Methyl glucoside propoxylate (CAS 61849-72-7) is a propoxylated sugar-based polyol used as a functional ingredient in personal care and industrial formulations.

Where is Methyl glucoside propoxylate used?

• Personal care: humectant, rheology modifier and carrier
• Skin conditioning in creams, lotions and cleansers by retaining moisture and improving sensory profile
• Co-solvent or carrier to improve dispersion of active ingredients
• Rheology modification in gel-based and emulsion systems where viscosity control is required
• Polymer and resin: reactive polyol building block for polyurethane systems with bio-derived content
• It is used in topical pharmaceutical and cosmetic systems.

Good to know: Technical and cosmetic grades are the most commonly available specifications; grade selection is driven by end-use regulatory requirements, and personal care applications generally require higher purity documentation than industrial uses.
