1 review
Decyl Glucoside Surfactant is a mild, plant-derived, non-ionic cleanser valued for producing rich, stable foam without feeling overly harsh or stripping. Made from glucose and fatty alcohols, it is a versatile choice for shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, hand washes, bubble baths and other rinse-off formulations where gentle yet effective cleansing is desired.
Suitable for use as either a primary or secondary surfactant, Decyl Glucoside blends well with anionic, amphoteric and other non-ionic surfactants, giving formulators flexibility when creating customized cleansing systems. It is especially useful in mild personal care formulations and products designed for delicate or frequently cleansed skin and hair.
