Description
Ethyl glucoside (CAS 34625-23-5, EC 252-122-0), also known as ethyl D-glucopyranoside or Aqua Glucoside, is a glucose-derived alkyl glycoside produced by the reaction of ethanol with glucose. It carries no E-code designation and is classified within the alcohols and glycols chemical family.
In personal care formulations, ethyl glucoside functions as a humectant by binding water molecules within the skin matrix, improving moisture retention without occlusion. It also acts as a co-solvent and dispersing agent in pharmaceutical and cosmetic systems, enhancing the solubility of active ingredients and stabilising emulsions across a range of pH conditions.
Ethyl glucoside is supplied as a liquid and is available in cosmetic and technical grades to meet the requirements of personal care, food, and pharmaceutical applications. It is compliant with REACH regulations for the European market. Standard packaging formats apply; buyers should confirm grade-specific documentation, including safety data sheets, with the supplier.
