PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether Acetate is a substance used in cosmetic formulations where it acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple).

"PPG" refers to a PPG (polypropylene glycol) derivative. The number after "PPG-" indicates the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-CH2-O-. Acetates are salts or esters of acetic acid; "ether" means a condensation product of two alcohols.
