Decyl Glucoside (16 Oz / 472 mL) Mild Natural Surfactant for All Hair Types

Decyl Glucoside, a type of alkyl polyglucoside, is a cloudy liquid derived from palm kernel oils, corn sugars, and/or coconut oil. Classified as a plant-based surfactant, decyl glucoside is often used as a replacement for sulfates like SLS and SLES, and can be found in numerous personal care products such as shampoo, facial cleansers, body wash, hand soap, laundry detergent, and makeup remover.

As a mild and non-toxic agent, decyl glucoside is considered safe for use in skincare and personal care formulations, including facial cleansers and liquid body washes. Its surfactant properties enable it to remove oils and dirt from products by reducing the surface tension between two liquids.

Decyl glucoside functions as a non-ionic surfactant, making it suitable for use as a foaming agent, conditioner, or emulsifier. It boasts excellent foaming capacity and good dermatological compatibility, rendering it an ideal base surfactant or co-surfactant in cosmetic surfactant cleansing preparations.

With its exceptional moisturizing and degreasing properties, as well as its quick-dissolving nature, decyl glucoside is a versatile ingredient in various personal care formulations. However, it is intended for external use only.

The chemical formula for decyl glucoside is C16H32O6, and its CAS number is 68515-73-1.
