PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate is a polyethylene glycol ether of methyl glucose dioleate, chemically described as poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) with methyl d-glucopyranoside 2,6-bis[(z)-9-octadecenoate] at a 120 mol EO average molar ratio (CAS #: 86893-19-8). It is a glucose-derived, PEG-modified ingredient commonly found in cleansing formulations such as face washes, shower gels, and shampoos. Its primary official function per CosIng is emulsifying. It has an irritancy rating of 0 and a comedogenicity rating of 0 as listed on INCIDecoder.
Its emulsifying function helps blend oil and water phases in cosmetic formulations, contributing to smooth, stable cleansing products. The low irritancy and comedogenicity ratings suggest it is well-tolerated across skin types.
