Mild Non-Ionic Surfactant for Sulfate-Free Cleansing Formulations

Coco Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) family. It is widely used in shampoos, face washes, body washes, hand washes, shower gels and other gentle cleansing formulations.

It provides effective yet gentle cleansing and foam and is particularly useful when developing sulfate-free cleansing systems.

Coco Glucoside is commonly produced from glucose and fatty alcohol feedstocks and can be blended with compatible surfactants such as CAPB and Lauryl Glucoside to create balanced cleansing systems with improved foam and sensory characteristics.

This grade contains approximately 50% active matter, subject to the actual supplier specification.

Safety Information

For cosmetic and formulation use only.

Do not ingest.

Concentrated Coco Glucoside is a surfactant raw material and should not be used directly as a finished shampoo, face wash or cleanser.

Avoid direct contact of concentrated material with eyes. Surfactant concentrates can cause significant eye irritation.

In case of accidental eye contact, rinse cautiously and thoroughly with clean water.

Avoid unnecessary prolonged skin contact with concentrated raw material.

Use suitable protective gloves and eye protection during bulk handling and formulation.

Avoid generating or inhaling mist.

Clean spills promptly because surfactant solutions can make floors slippery.

Keep out of reach of children.

Keep the container tightly closed and protect from contamination.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and incompatible materials.

The safety and mildness of the finished cleanser depend on its complete formulation, concentration, pH and intended use.
