Glyceryl Glucoside (GG) is a revolutionary multifunctional glycoside compound composed of glycerol and glucose. In modern cosmetology, it stands out as one of the most potent activators of Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) channels. Aquaporins are membrane proteins that play a vital role in controlling the trans-cellular water flow. By stimulating the production of these channels, Glyceryl Glucoside enhances water distribution across cell membranes, restoring hydration to skin that has suffered structural depletion.
The 30% Viscous Clear Liquid variant (CAS No: 22160-26-5 coupled with Glycerin carrier CAS No: 56-81-5) is meticulously optimized for personal care products. Designed as a nonionic glycoside, it combines outstanding skin compatibility with nonionic mildness, working effectively as both a biological moisturizer and a stabilizer. Furthermore, it operates as a secondary emulsifier and antioxidant, protecting sensitive cell membranes from lipid peroxidation induced by UV rays and pollution.
Sourced from specialized glycobiological processes, utilizing biotransformation mechanisms to link natural glucose and glycerin. Free from harsh solvents or hazardous synthetic agents.
Acts as an osmoprotectant, mimicking the natural defense mechanisms found in desert resurrection plants (e.g., Myrothamnus flabellifolia) that survive dry seasons by maintaining intracellular moisture balance.
Delivers proven deep hydration, boosts antioxidant defenses, preserves skin elasticity, and supports stable emulsion interfaces without disrupting delicate lipid profiles.

To understand the performance of Glyceryl Glucoside 30%, we must evaluate its influence on the epidermis. Traditional humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin bind water on the skin's surface but do not actively regulate cell-to-cell water distribution.
Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) proteins are localized within the plasma membranes of basal keratinocytes. They form channels that transport water and glycerol across the cell boundary, maintaining osmotic equilibrium and skin suppleness. Glyceryl Glucoside acts as a signal molecule, prompting aging keratinocytes to upregulate AQP3 expression. Clinical studies indicate that applying Glyceryl Glucoside leads to a measurable increase in cellular water content and restores the skin's barrier function.
Beyond hydration, the chemical structure of Glyceryl Glucoside contains a stable ether linkage that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS). It protects cells from oxidative damage, particularly the degradation of lipids in the stratum corneum. By lowering oxidative stress, it helps preserve collagen-producing fibroblasts, promoting long-term skin elasticity.
The cosmetic and personal care industry is shifting rapidly toward clean, sustainable, and high-performance ingredients. Clean beauty demands are driving formulators away from synthetic glycol-based humectants toward bio-derived nonionic glycosides.
Brands now require ingredients with high natural origin indexes (NOI) in accordance with ISO 16128. Our Glyceryl Glucoside 30% is biodegradable and derived from plant-based materials, making it ideal for clean-label products.
Modern formulations must withstand thermal changes during shipping. Unlike fragile proteins, Glyceryl Glucoside is stable under varying pH conditions and temperatures, ensuring your final product remains reliable.
To optimize costs, formulators seek single ingredients that offer multiple benefits. Our Glyceryl Glucoside works as an antioxidant, barrier repair agent, and texture enhancer, helping simplify ingredient lists.
Our raw materials are utilized in key industries worldwide, delivering exceptional cleaning, softening, and moisturizing performance across diverse formulations.
Gentle Amino Acid Facial Cleansers: By pairing Glyceryl Glucoside 30% with mild surfactants like Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate or Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, you can reduce irritation, produce a dense lather, and leave skin feeling hydrated rather than tight.
Sulfate-Free Shampoos & Body Washes: Using a combination of CAB-35 and APG1214 (Lauryl Glucoside), formulators can create gentle washes suitable for sensitive skin. The addition of Glyceryl Glucoside protects the scalp's barrier, reducing post-wash dryness.
Industrial & Home Cleaners: For high-efficiency laundry detergents and degreasers, utilizing primary surfactants like SLES, AOS, or LAS combined with stabilizing agents ensures strong degreasing power while remaining biodegradable and compliant with environmental standards.

To get the best results from Glyceryl Glucoside 30% in your formulations, consider these physical properties and ingredient synergies:
Due to its nonionic structure, Glyceryl Glucoside is compatible with a wide range of ingredients. It can be paired with anionic surfactants (like SCI or SLS), amphoteric surfactants (like CAB-35), and cationic conditioning polymers (like Polyquaternium-10 or Guar Hydroxypropyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride) without causing phase separation or cloudiness.
While Hyaluronic Acid forms a moisture-retaining film on the skin's surface, Glyceryl Glucoside stimulates Aquaporin-3 to hydrate deeper epidermal layers. Combining these two ingredients provides dual-action surface and deep hydration.
Glyceryl Glucoside 30% is heat-stable and can be added directly to the water phase of your formulation. It withstands heating up to 80°C, making it suitable for both hot and cold emulsification processes. Recommended use levels range from 1.0% to 5.0%.
