Coco Glucoside Surfactant

No palm oil! Coco Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant in the alkyl polyglucoside (APG) family, created by combining plant-based glucose with fatty alcohols derived from coconut oil. Biodegradable and derived from renewable resources, it’s a popular choice for sulfate-free and eco-friendly formulations such as shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, and baby care products. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and delicate skin. Known for producing a stable, creamy lather, Coco Glucoside offers effective yet non-drying cleansing. It’s compatible with a wide range of surfactants and helps improve the mildness and performance of cleansing systems. Its stability across a broad pH range also makes it an excellent base surfactant in a variety of personal care applications. Coco-Glucoside is commonly used in gentle, sulfate free formulations for products such as facial cleansers, body washes, baby shampoos and hand soaps. Usage levels typically range from 3–30% depending on the desired level of cleansing and foaming. Coco Glucoside is also compatible with a wide range of other surfactants and can be thickened with natural gums or salt-based thickeners. It is generally incorporated to the water phase of formulation and should be incorporated at room temperature or slightly warmed to maintain clarity and stability.
