Coco Glucoside

COCO GLUCOSIDE

Coco Glucoside is a high-performance, naturally derived non-ionic surfactant that plays a key role in rinse-off cleansing and foam-rich formulations. Sourced from fatty alcohols derived from coconut or palm kernel and glucose from plant sugars, it belongs to the alkyl polyglucoside (APG) family and offers a mild yet effective cleansing system.

Celebrated for its gentle cleansing and foaming ability, Coco Glucoside builds an instant, luxurious foam that remains stable over time—ideal for shower gels, bubble baths and high-foam shampoos. Its non-ionic nature makes it a suitable co-emulsifier in cream cleansers, helping to thicken, soften and condition skin and hair while reducing the need for harsher surfactants.

100% derived from renewable, plant-based feedstocks, cold-processable and compatible with COSMOS standards, Coco Glucoside aligns with clean-beauty values and supports formulators seeking gentle, eco-friendly systems.
