Overview

Methyl Gluceth-10 is a synthetically made ingredient derived from glucose.

A brief explanation of the name: The -ETH part stands for Polyethylene glycol and the 10 describes the size of the molecule. It comes in the form of a clear, pale yellow, syrupy liquid.

This ingredient is used as a humectant, attracting and binding water to the skin’s surface and leaving it nicely moisturized.
