Make it Mild with Glucamate™ Thickeners and Emulsifiers and Glucate™ Emulsifiers

Make it mild
Tender skin deserves special care. Naturally derived Methyl Glucoside thickeners and emulsifiers provide exceptional mildness for eyes and skin, and gentle refatting to keep skin soft and smooth.

Key Benefits of Glucamate Thickeners:

  • Exceptionally mild and non-irritating to skin and eyes
  • Light, pleasant afterfeel
  • Safe and easy to use
  • Versatility – highly effective in a variety of surfactant systems
  • Thickens synergistically with salt
  • Excellent foam profile

For smooth, elegant and mild emulsions for the tender skin of both grandparents and babies, discover the versatility and performance of Glucate and Glucamate emulsifiers. Derived from corn, a natural, renewable resource, these emulsifiers are distinguished by their mildness and multifunctional performance benefits. Designed to work together, the lipophilic Glucate SS emulsifier and the hydrophilic Glucamate SSE-20 emulsifier form a complementary emulsifier pair that provides effective emulsification and enhanced stability at very low concentration levels. Glucate and Glucamate emulsifiers work together to stabilize emulsions, even at a low viscosity, making them ideal for stabilizing body milks, serums, and sprayable emulsions.

And both products are non-irritating to the eyes, meaning you can feel safe formulating them into any application. Naturally derived, exceptionally versatile, and extremely efficient, Glucate and Glucamate emulsifiers are the choice for the discriminating formulator. The consistency you expect, the performance you desire. Formulate with confidence.
