Decyl Glucoside is a nonionic surfactant, ideal for foaming and cleansing products. Our decyl Glucoside, obtained from renewable raw materials, is a combination of, plant based, fatty alcohols and glucose. Decyl Glucoside is a mild surfactant and because it does not dry it is ideal for the formulation of personal hygiene and toiletry cosmetics. Decyl Glucoside offers the formula:
- Good foaming power
- Compatible with all surfactants
- Is tolerant of high electrolyte formulations (aloe)
- Compatible with cationic conditioning agents
- Mild but effective cleansing
- Improves skin tolerance of the formulation
- Maintains skin balance without dryness
Decyl Glucoside generates an exceptional foam for a nonionic surfactant, whatever the conditions. It produces a very satisfactory level of foam, comparable with that obtained using conventional anionic surfactants. Moreover, the foam obtained is particularly stable, which is an advantage for the formulation of bubble baths and shower gels. The foam generated is fine and stable.
- Non Ionic surfactant obtained from vegetable origin
- Good foaming power
- Easy to thicken with natural polymers
- Maintains skin balance
- Environmentally friendly
In contrast, its touch is not comparable with that of a foam obtained using anionic surfactants. For this reason it is advisable to combine Decyl Glucoside with our Cocoamidopropyl Betaine in order to vary the smoothness of the foam. Furthermore, because of its wide range of compatibility, Decyl Glucoside can be combined with all types of surfactants without reducing foam volume or stability.
Decyl Glucoside, used as co-surfactant, can reduce the total active ingredients content of foaming formulas without altering their performance. Cleansing effectiveness and foam volume are maintained.
Ease of thickening is maintained.
