Glycereth-26 Multifunctional Moisturizing Polymer CAS No. [31694-55-0] Cosmetic Grade Moisturizer/Viscosity Modifier/Emulsion Stabilizer

Glycereth-26 Multifunctional Moisturizing Polymer CAS No. [31694-55-0] Cosmetic Grade Moisturizer/Viscosity Modifier/Emulsion Stabilizer

Glyceryl polyether-26 is a water-soluble polymer (average EO number 26) obtained by the addition reaction of glycerol and ethylene oxide (EO). Its unique "flexible hydrophilic chain" structure gives it excellent moisturizing properties and compatibility stability.

Product Advantage

1

Triple-effect integration

Deep moisturizing: water binding capacity is 3 times that of glycerin (RH50% test)
Viscosity control: 0.5% addition can increase the viscosity of the system by 200%
Emulsification assistance: stable O/W emulsion (HLB value 15-17)

2

Safety certification

EU SCCS assessment passed (SCCS/1636/21)
Included in the 2023 edition of China's ""Catalogue of Used Cosmetic Raw Materials""
Passed ECOCERT organic standards

3

Formula innovation 1

Replace traditional carbomer (reduce stickiness by 50%)
Solve the problem of low-temperature crystallization of polyols (stable at -20℃)

4

Formula innovation 2

Improve the solubility of active ingredients (vitamin C solubility ↑40%)

Operation Process

Skin care product application:

Essence formula:

Add 0.5-3% as moisturizing matrix

It is recommended to mix with glycerin 1:2 (synergistic effect)

Cleaning products:

Replace 50% of traditional thickener (dosage 1-2%)

Avoid direct mixing with high concentration of anionic surfactants

Lyophilized preparations:

Pre-freeze protectant (concentration 3-5%)

Need to mix with trehalose 1:1

Incompatibility taboos:

❌ May hydrolyze when pH < 3

❌ Prone to flocculation with cationic polymers

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference with Glycereth-7?

→ Hydrophilicity: Glycereth-26 has 2 times higher hydration capacity
→ Irritation: Eye irritation index is reduced by 60% (Draize test)
Q2: Does it cause mud?

→ When used with Carbomer, pH>5.5 must be controlled (addition at intervals is recommended)
Q3: Can it be sterilized at high temperature?

→ Can withstand 121℃/15min (viscosity loss <10%)
