Ethyl Glucoside

Ethyl Glucoside (CAS 34625-23-5 ) is a mild, sugar-derived glycoside produced by combining glucose with ethanol. It functions as a humectant, emulsifier, and solvent carrier across personal care, pharmaceutical, and food applications.

Buyers source it as a multifunctional ingredient that reduces formulation complexity without compromising performance. In cosmetic formulations, it acts as a skin-conditioning humectant in creams, serums, and cleansers.

This ingredient helps retain moisture at the surface level for improved hydration. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a solubilizing carrier for active ingredients in topical and oral preparations where a biocompatible vehicle is required.

It serves as a low-irritation option for sensitive applications. In food-grade applications, it functions as a dispersing and carrying agent for flavors and bioactives, improving homogeneity in liquid systems.

Personal care formulators also incorporate it into hair care products to improve texture. It enhances ingredient compatibility across water- and oil-based systems, making it a versatile choice for complex mixtures.

The product is typically supplied as a white to off-white powder or as a clear aqueous solution, depending on concentration. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commercially prevalent.

Purity levels are generally at 98% or higher for powder forms. Bulk quantities are available for industrial formulators, with smaller packaging options suited to R&D and specialty production runs.
