Description

Methyl Glucoside Sesquistearate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from methyl glucoside and stearic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent skin compatibility, emulsifying properties, and ability to form stable, elegant emulsions in demanding formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-performance, naturally-derived ingredients for creams, lotions, and other topical products.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic and pharmaceutical creams and lotions.
• Stabilizing agent for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, providing long-term shelf stability.
• Key ingredient in high-quality skincare products, including moisturizers, sun care, and anti-aging formulations.
• Used in hair care products such as conditioners and styling creams for its conditioning effects.
• Component in makeup products like foundations and liquid lipsticks for smooth texture and application.
• Base material for the preparation of other methyl glucoside esters and specialty surfactants.
