additional info

Methyl Gluceth-10 is also known as PEG-10 Methyl Glucose Ether. It is a naturally-derived, mild ingredient that delivers moisture to the skin while reducing the tacky feel normally associated with the ingredients typically used in moisturizing skin creams. It is an ethoxylated methyl glucose ether and is 100% active. Its low irritation potential makes it ideal for use in both rinse off and leave on skin care systems such as lotions, creams, and body cleansing formulations.
