TALLOWOYL ETHYL GLUCOSIDE.

Questionable CAS 223706-32-9 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

TALLOWOYL ETHYL GLUCOSIDE is a specialized surfactant and cleansing agent derived from tallowoyl and ethyl glucoside. Its primary function in skincare is to facilitate effective cleansing by reducing surface tension.

Summary

Cleansing Agent Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions primarily by acting as a surfactant, reducing the surface tension between different phases (e.g., oil and water), which allows for the emulsification and removal of impurities and oils from the skin's surface during cleansing.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Low

The CIR Expert Panel has evaluated related alkyl glucosides, including Ethyl Glucoside, finding them safe when properly formulated to be non-irritating. It is theorized that skin's own glucoside hydrolase enzymes can break down these compounds into their constituent fatty acids and glucose. For the broader class of alkyl polyglucosides, industry data suggests non-irritating behavior below concentrations of 30%.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Questionable

While TALLOWOYL ETHYL GLUCOSIDE functions as a cleansing agent with a 'safe with restrictions' CIR status, its formulation challenges and lack of specific data on efficacy, irritancy, or comedogenicity suggest a need for further research and careful consideration.
