Decyl Glucoside is a natural, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable raw materials such as corn glucose and coconut oil. It provides mild yet effective cleansing without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Known for its excellent foaming and emulsifying properties, it is often used in natural and organic skincare formulations. Decyl Glucoside is biodegradable, eco-friendly, and especially suitable for formulations intended for sensitive skin, baby products, and sulfate-free cleansers. It also enhances the performance of other surfactants when used in combination.
