USE & BENEFITS of GLUCAM P20:
Glucam P20 functions as a hair and skin conditioning agent.
Glucam P20 is used as a skin conditioning agent forms a protective film on the surface of the skin which prevents loss of moisture from the skin and lubricates it.

When used in hair Glucam P20 forms a protective layer on the hair and prevents it from drying.
Glucam P20 makes it appear soft and silky.
Depending upon the chemical structure Glucam P20 also functions as an emollient and surfactant in cosmetic products.

Glucam P20 is a surfactant is the one that more or less works like a detergent.
Chemically understanding, ether (-O-) being the connecting bond between PPG and Methyl glucose, imparts fat-loving characteristic, while PPG and methyl glucose, individually are water-loving in nature.

So, when they combine, they are effective against dirt and dead bacteria, since they are fat-loving.
They bond with dirt and bacteria present on the skin and get carried away with water.

Both PPG and Methyl glucose have some functional groups that attract water and hold it for use for the skin cells.
So, it can function as emollient as well.
Glucam P20 is a polypropylene glycol ether of methyl glucose.

FUNCTION(S) of GLUCAM P20 IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS:

SUBSTANCE INFORMATION
"PPG" refers to a PPG-(polypropylene glycol-) derivative.
The number behind "PPG-" (in the event of mixed PEG/PPG derivatives, the second number) states the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-CH2-O-.
The methyl group is one of the simplest arrangements of atoms in organic chemistry which can be found as a moiety of numerous organic molecules.

The name „methyl“ is derived from methane, the member of the alkane hydrocarbon group with the lowest molecular weight.
The methane molecule contains four hydrogen atoms each one bound to a central carbon atom.

The methyl group is not an independent chemical entity and contains only three hydrogen atoms, the fourth binding site is generally used for binding to a larger, mainly organic molecule.

Like all alkanes, methyl groups exhibit a particularly low chemical reactivity.
Ingredient on the basis of glucose (dextrose).
"Ether" refers to a connection product (condensation product) of two alcohols.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON USE IN COSMETICS
Polypropylene glycol (PPGs) and their derivatives are used in cosmetic products like the polyethylene glycols (PEGs).
They are often used in cosmetic products since they have a broad range of viscosity and solubility properties and have a very good skin tolerance.
As water soluble, non-greasy substances, polypropylene glycols are suited for many cosmetic purposes.
The liquid PPGs serve, for instance, as solubilizers and solvents.
