Decyl Glucoside

Description

INCI: Decyl Glucoside

A mild non-ionic surfactant that offers high foam and natural cleansing for shampoos and body washes. (HLB 13-14)

Decyl Glucoside is well suited for a use in a range of cosmetic and dermatological applications. Decyl Glucoside generates an exceptional foam for a nonionic surfactant. 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.

Decyl Glucoside can be combined with all types of surfactants without reducing foam volume or stability.

Used as co-surfactant, Decyl Glucoside can reduce the total active ingredients content of foaming formulas without altering their performance. Cleansing effectiveness and foam volume are maintained as well as ease of thickening is maintained.

It is recommended that Decyl Glucoside be added to the oil phase. The target pH for the finished product is between 3.0 and 5.0. Usage rates can range from 2.0 – 10.0 %.
