Arachidyl Glucoside, also known as D-Glucopyranoside, C20 straight chain monoalkyl- or eicosyl D-glucoside, is an ingredient widely used in cosmetics and personal care products. This chemical compound is a type of alkyl glycoside - a sugar linked to an alkyl group. It is valued in cosmetics for its ability to act as an emulsifier and product texture improver.

Arachidyl Glucoside is found in a variety of skin and body care products. It is found in creams, lotions, makeup, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, sunscreens and many other products. Due to its emulsifying properties, it helps maintain the consistency and stability of cosmetic products so that none of the ingredients fall out or separate.

This ingredient is generally considered safe and is not known to have any negative effects on human health.
