Decyl glucoside (Cat No.: I025835) is a mild, non-ionic surfactant derived from natural sources like corn glucose and coconut oil. It is commonly used in personal care products, including shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, due to its gentle cleansing and foaming properties. With excellent biodegradability and low irritation potential, it is ideal for sensitive skin and eco-friendly formulations. Decyl glucoside enhances product stability and compatibility with other surfactants, making it a popular choice in natural and sulfate-free cosmetic formulations.
