Product Details

FEATURES AND BENEFITS 

Ultra-Mild Cleanser: Decyl Glucoside is a gentle, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable plant-based feedstocks. Its mild cleansing profile are ideal for facial cleansers, baby care products, and formulations designed for sensitive or reactive skin. 

Exceptional Foam Quality: This ingredient produces a rich, stable, and creamy foam, even when blended with oils or other botanical additives.  

Versatile Surfactant: Effective as both a primary and secondary surfactant, Decyl Glucoside supports a wide range of cleansing systems. Use at a higher concentration for gentle yet effective cleansing agent. For a mild ingredient that improves later, a lower concentration is recommended.  

Highly Compatible & Easy of Use: Decyl Glucoside blends smoothly with anionic, cationic, amphoteric, and other non-ionic surfactants. Its compatibility makes it a go-to choice for complex formulations including wipes, hand cleansers, and all-purpose body washes. 


DESCRIPTION 

Decyl Glucoside is a biodegradable, plant-derived surfactant sourced from renewable feedstocks. Presented as a hazy pale-yellow liquid, this functional ingredient is known for its excellent mildness, foaming performance, and formulation flexibility. 

As a non-ionic surfactant, Decyl Glucoside offers exceptional compatibility with cationic surfactants and polymers, enabling its use across diverse personal care applications. It can serve as the primary surfactant in gentle cleansing systems or as a secondary surfactant to promote foam quality, stability, and mildness. 

Preservative-free and naturally sustainable, Decyl Glucoside aligns with eco-conscious product development and is recommended for shampoos, shower gels, liquid hand soaps, bubble baths, wipes, and sensitive-skin formulations. 


DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE 

  • Shampoos & Hair Cleansers: Add 5–25% Decyl Glucoside to the surfactant phase of formulation and adjust depending on your desired result. Incorporate at higher levels for mild primary cleansing or at lower percentages to boost foam, support viscosity, and enhance overall mildness.  

  • Gentle Skin & Baby Care Products: For facial cleansers, baby washes, and sensitive-skin formulas, 5–15% Decyl Glucoside is recommended for a soft, non-stripping cleanse. Combine with other mild surfactants to build a balanced and gentle system. 

  • Liquid Bath and Body Washes: For shower gels, liquid hand soaps, bubble baths, and body washes, blend 5–20% into the water phase or surfactant blend.  

  • Cleansing Wipes & Other Cleansers: Add 2–10% to wipe solutions, micellar formulations, and hand/face cleansers to contribute mild cleansing and light foam while maintaining a skin-friendly profile.
