How we scored it

Glucose (natural plant sugar) glycosidically etherified with arachidyl (C20) fatty alcohol (oleochemical, natural) -> 1.0
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Made by reacting plant-derived glucose with arachidyl (C20) fatty alcohol, typically from vegetable oil, to form a glycoside. Both raw materials are plant-derived.

In plain English

A gentle, sugar-based emulsifier used in creams and lotions to stabilize formulas without harsh surfactants. It's made from plant sugar (glucose) combined with a fatty alcohol from vegetable oil.

CosIng definition: D-glucose, 1-eicosanol ether
