Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate
Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, also known as Octadecyl ester, is a cosmetic ingredient that is primarily used in cosmetology as an emulsifier. This substance is derived from vegetable sugar and fatty acids and by its nature helps to bring all the ingredients in a cosmetic product together into a smooth, creamy consistency. This emulsifier is very popular in product formulations due to the fact that it is biodegradable and does not cause skin irritation.
Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate can be found in a wide range of cosmetic products - from skin creams to shampoos to body lotions. Its purpose is to achieve the optimum consistency of the product, making the application as pleasant and elegant as possible for the user. In addition, this emulsifier also improves skin hydration, making it suitable for the manufacture of products for dry and sensitive skin. The ingredient itself is completely colourless and odourless, so it only contributes to the final effect of the product by its technological role and not by its organoleptic properties.
