Decyl glucoside is a surfactant that is commonly used in personal care and cleaning products. It is derived from natural sources and is known for its mildness and biodegradability.

Decyl glucoside is produced by combining glucose, which is derived from cornstarch or other plant sources, with a fatty alcohol called decanol. The resulting compound is a non-ionic surfactant, meaning it does not carry an electrical charge.

As a surfactant, decyl glucoside has both hydrophilic (water-loving) and lipophilic (oil-loving) properties. This makes it effective at removing dirt, oil, and other impurities from the skin or surfaces. It creates a lather and helps to emulsify oils, allowing them to be rinsed away.

One of the main advantages of decyl glucoside is its gentle nature. It is considered to be a mild surfactant and is often used in products that are formulated for sensitive skin or for those who prefer milder formulations. It is less likely to cause irritation or dryness compared to harsher surfactants.

In typical formulations, it’s gentle, non-irritating, non-allergenic, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and doesn’t have any known adverse effects on bodily organs or on reproductive health. It’s the ideal surfactant for people who have sensitive skin and those who are worried about the health effects of other surfactants. Decyl Glucoside does not contain any impurities. Its chemical nature and the production process results in a surfactant without ethylene oxide and is suitable for baby, and pet products.

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.

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 Cocamidopropyl Betaine or Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate in order to improve 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.

Include it in the water phase of your formulations; it can be hot or cold processed.
