General safety info about Methyl Gluceth-20 Benzoate from CIR
Methyl glucose polyethers and esters function as skin/hair conditioning agents, surfactants, or viscosity increasing agents. The ester ingredients in this report are mono-, di-, or tri-carboxyester substituted methyl glucosides, and the polyether ingredients in this report are mixtures of various chain-lengths. After reviewing the data, including the molecular weights, log Kows, and other properties of these ingredients, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel determined that there likely would be no significant skin penetration of these ingredients. Although there are data gaps in this report, the Panel concluded that similarities between molecular structures, physicochemical and biological characteristics, and functions and concentrations in cosmetics allowed grouping these ingredients together and extending the available toxicological data to support the safety of each of the ingredients in the group. The Panel concluded that the methyl glucose polyethers and esters are safe in the present practices of use and concentration.
