Decyl Glucoside
Decyl Glucoside is a natural surfactant that is derived naturally from fatty alcohols (plant-based) and glucose i.e. starch or sugar. It is a better alternative to artificial surfactants as it is mild and gentle on your skin. Decyl Glucoside is used in multiple personal care and cosmetic products. Its excellent foam forming properties make it an effective cosmetic ingredient in bath gels, shower gels, body washes, etc.
Decyl Glucoside can be blended with Cocamidopropyl Betaine or natural foaming agents to improve the malleability and smoothness of cosmetic formulas. Decyl Glucoside does not affect the stability or volume when blended with other surfactants which enhances its usability and compatibility with other ingredients.
Decyl Glucoside is 100% natural and obtained from vegetable oils of plant origin. Decyl Glucoside makes the products skin-friendly and does not alter the viscosity or performance in any way. Decyl Glucoside is bio-degradable in nature and therefore, it does not harm the environment as well. Decyl Glucoside is an amber hued liquid that has a typical odor.
