Glucam™ P-20 Distearate Emollient
INCI Name:
PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether Distearate
Glucam™ P-20 Distearate emollient is designed for skin care formulations to deliver safe, effective, moisturization without a heavy, greasy feeling.
Because it is mild, vegetable-derived and non-comedogenic, it is especially well suited for products used around the eye or in formulations made for sensitive skin. Glucam P-20 Distearate emollient is an efficient barrier for reducing water loss from the stratum corneum in cream applications. Unlike other more impervious barriers, it is not totally occlusive. This selective behavior allows for some transport of water through the barrier system for optimum rather than excessive water retention. In this way, Glucam P-20 Distearate emollient helps eliminate the heavy, greasy feeling normally associated with superior moisturization.
In addition to moisturizing the skin, Glucam P-20 Distearate emollient also imparts emolliency into creams and lotions. The slip qualities of Glucam P-20 Distearate emollient bring a lubricious feeling of elegance to products as they soothingly glide onto the skin, and continue to leave the skin feeling smooth.
