Decyl Glucoside

Decyl Glucoside is a non-ionic, mild surfactant derived from natural sources like glucose from corn starch and fatty alcohols from coconut oil. It is a biodegradable and eco-friendly ingredient commonly used in personal care and cleaning products for its gentle cleansing properties. Decyl Glucoside is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and baby products, and is known for producing a rich, stable foam without stripping the skin’s natural oils.

Applications:

• Personal Care Products: Widely used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products. It provides mild yet effective cleansing, making it ideal for sulfate-free formulations.
• Hair Care: Used in shampoos and conditioners to provide a gentle cleansing action without damaging the scalp or hair.
• Household Cleaning Products: Found in dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners, and laundry detergents as a mild, biodegradable surfactant.
• Foaming Agents: Utilized in bath products and foaming hand soaps due to its excellent ability to produce a stable foam.

Handling and Storage:

• Handling: Ensure proper ventilation when handling large quantities. Avoid inhalation and direct contact with eyes and skin. Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing if necessary. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizers. Prevent contamination by avoiding exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures.
