Glucamate™ LT thickener

Glucamate™ LT thickener is a naturally-derived ingredient composed of methyl glucose ether esterified with oleic acid. It is available as a 40% active liquid and serves as a highly efficient associative thickener. This nonionic liquid is gentle on the skin and offers anti-irritant properties. Glucamate™ LT thickener is compatible with most ingredients found in liquid surfactant systems. It contributes to the sensory experience by retaining lather and providing a light afterfeel. It is commonly used in shower gels, facial cleansers, and shampoos.
