Glucam™ P-20 humectant

Glucam™ P-20 humectant is a naturally-derived, 100% active, propoxylated methyl glucose ether. It is one of the few naturally-derived cosmetic fluids that is miscible with water, alcohols, organic esters, and oils. It delivers humectancy with a lubricious, emollient feel in any product. In alcohol-based systems, Glucam™ P-20 humectant reduces the stinging effect alcohol can have on the skin. Furthermore, it acts as a fixative in fragrance-containing formulations by reducing the volatilization of high notes. The light color and low odor of Glucam™ P-20 humectant do not interfere with the mood the fragrance is trying to convey. It is recommended for use in hair and skin care products.
