PPG is the acronym for "polypropylene glycol", the polymer of propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol), a dihydric alcohol. The number after "PPG" indicates the average number of propylene glycol molecular units, for "PPG-10" it is 10 propylene glycol molecular units. "ether" denotes an ether compound of 2 alcohol molecules.

PPG-10 methyl glucose ether is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance mixture acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple) and as a skin care product (keeps the skin in good condition).
