Coco Glucoside

Description

Coco Glucoside

Coco Glucoside or Cocoyl Glucoside is a surfactant of non-ionic form. This surface-active agent is made from pure coconut. It is a type of alkyl glucoside, which is produced by mixing coconut alcohol with some kind of sugar, glucose, or glucose polymer under a certain acidic condition till a cloudy liquid-like solution is obtained. Coco-Glucoside is an ultra-mild cleansing agent that is viscous and appears light yellow to golden in color.

Coco-Glucoside is a combination of fatty alcohols which is produced out of Coconut (c8-16) and glucose (sugar/starch). It is compatible with other surfactant classes like anionic, cationic, amphoteric, and non-ionic. It also possesses potent thickening properties and it can also be blended with other types of natural thickeners like Carrageenan Gum, Xanthan Gum, etc. This surfactant produces a very satisfactory level of foam which makes it an excellent cleansing agent.

Foaming and cleansing abilities of Cocoyl Glucoside are designed for fragile or sensitive skin. Being ultra-mild and gentle nourishes and conditions the skin, which makes it an excellent choice for the formulation of skincare, personal hygiene, and toiletry products. As Coconut Glucoside is natural, it can easily replace the synthetic surfactants that are used in cosmetic products.
