Nom inci: PEG-120 Methyl glucose dioleate. Nom français : PEG-120 Methyl glucose dioleate (éthoxylé). N° CAS : 86893-19-8; ethoxylated methyl glucoside; PEG 120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate; PEG-120 METHYL GLUCOSE DIOLEATE PEG-120 METHYL GLUCOSE DIOLEATE is classified as : Emulsifying CAS Number 86893-19-8 COSING REF No: 77545 Chem/IUPAC Name: Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), .alpha.-hydro-.omega.-hydroxy-, ether with methyl d-glucopyranoside 2,6-bis[(Z)-9-octadecenoate] (2:1) (120 mol EO average molar ratio). PEG 120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate thickener is an ethoxylated methyl glucose ether which has been esterified with oleic acid. It is an extremely effective nonionic thickener for hair care and skin care products. This product is recommended for use in shower gels, facial cleansers and shampoos. * A surfactant and emulsifier * Please read TIA’s article on What Is It: PEGs PEG 120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate is the polyethylene glycol ether of the diester of natural Methylglucose and Oleic Acid. It is used in beauty products and cosmetics as a surfactant and emulsifier. It is used as a thickener in hair and skin care products. It is considered a non-irritant, and also has a specific property that allows it to reduce the irritation value of whole formulas (Source). The high molecular weight of this specific PEG makes it impenetratable to healthy skin; it is FDA and CIR approved for use, but not on broken skin. * A surfactant and emulsifier * Please read TIA’s article on What Is It: PEGs Functions: PEG 120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate is the polyethylene glycol ether of the diester of natural Methylglucose and Oleic Acid.

Despite the many fears regarding PEGs (including PEG 120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate), they are seen as an ingredient in a large number of products because of their diverse properties. In a study published in the Toxicology journal in 2005, entitled "Safety assessment on polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and their derivatives as used in cosmetic products," it was concluded that: "Taking into consideration all available information from related compounds, as well as the mode and mechanism of action, no safety concern with regard to these endpoints could be identified. Based on the available data it is therefore concluded that PEGs of a wide molecular weight range (200 to over 10,000), their ethers (laureths, ceteths, ceteareths, steareths, and oleths), and fatty acid esters (laurates, dilaurates, stearates, distearates) are safe for use in cosmetics."
