Decyl Glucoside

DECYL GLUCOSIDE

Decyl Glucoside is an ultra-mild, naturally derived surfactant that brings exceptional gentleness and skin compatibility to modern cleansing formulations. Derived from renewable plant sources - combining glucose with naturally occurring fatty alcohols - it is 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, and soap-free, making it ideal for daily personal care.

Celebrated for its exceptional skin compatibility, Decyl Glucoside provides an effective yet gentle cleanse that supports the skin’s natural moisture balance. As one of the gentlest members of the alkyl polyglucoside (APG) family, it helps formulators create products that are kind to even the most delicate skin. It produces a soft, stable foam that feels luxurious without stripping or drying, making it a go-to surfactant for mild facial cleansers, baby care, and everyday personal-care formulations.

COSMOS-approved, vegan-friendly, and palm-free, this versatile ingredient supports clean-beauty values while offering formulators a dependable, eco-conscious surfactant for gentle, skin-loving products
