PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate is a naturally derived cleansing and thickening agent for shampoos and other cleansing products. The ingredient also has good moisture retention properties which can help it improve the skin-feel of surfactant-based products.
The material is derived from corn and palm and then ethoxylated to make it water soluble. Ethoxylation is usually a petrochemical process.
Solubility: Soluble in hot water. The ingredient comes as flakes that will soften and dissolve into a water base but this can be quite slow at room temperature. The best procedure is to heat a little of your water to 50-60C and add the PEG, forming a fluid paste which can then be added into the rest of your formula for thickening.
Recommendations: Use between 2 - 6% in formulations
Applications: Use as a thickening and cleansing agent for shampoos and cleansing products.
