Description
Coco Glucoside is a natural, non-ionic, surfactant. Like Decyl Glucoside it is ultra mild, and one of the most gentle of the cleansing agents, making it ideal for all foaming and cleansing products, especially those designed for fragile or sensitive skin.
Our Coco Glucoside, obtained from renewable raw materials, is a combination of coconut based fatty alcohols and glucose (sugar / starch).
Coco Glucoside, being ultra mild and gentle, does not dry the skin which makes it an excellent choice for the formulation of personal hygiene and toiletry products.
Coco Glucoside generates excellent foam in almost any conditions. It produces a very satisfactory level of foam, comparable with that obtained using conventional anionic surfactants.
The foam obtained is also stable, which is an advantage for the formulation of bubble baths and shower gels. The foam generated is fine and stable.
Coco Glucoside can be combined with all types of surfactants without reducing foam volume or stability.
Coco Glucoside, used as a co-surfactant, can reduce the total active requirements of other foaming ingredients, without altering their performance; cleansing effectiveness, foam volume, and ease of thickening, are all maintained while improving on the mild, and gentle, nature of the final formulation.
Coco Glucoside does not contain any impurities. Its chemical nature and the production process results in a surfactant without ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane and is suitable for baby, and pet, products.
