Methyl glucose sesquistearate

Methyl glucose sesquistearate (CAS 68936-95-8), commercially known as Glucate SS or Grillocose PS, is a mild, sugar-derived emulsifier used across personal care and industrial formulations.

It stabilizes oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions while simultaneously providing moisturizing benefits to the skin. In skin care formulations it functions as a primary or co-emulsifier.

This ingredient delivers stable emulsions with a smooth, non-greasy skin feel in creams, lotions, and body butters. Hair care manufacturers incorporate it into conditioning treatments and styling products.

In these applications, it improves spreadability and moisture retention. In home care and industrial cleaning products, it acts as a wetting and dispersing agent, improving surface contact.

It also enhances soil removal efficiency in various cleaning solutions. Coatings and adhesive formulators use it to modify surface tension and support uniform dispersion of pigments or active components.

The material is typically supplied as a waxy solid or flake form, with a melt point suitable for hot-process manufacturing. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification for various uses.

This ensures it meets the quality requirements expected for leave-on and rinse-off personal care applications. Technical-grade material is also available for industrial cleaning and coatings end uses.
