Introduction
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is part of the alkyl polyglucoside (APG) family of surfactants, known for their exceptional mildness and renewable origin. It is synthesized from fatty alcohols (C8–C10 chain) and glucose, resulting in a versatile surfactant that is free from sulfates, PEGs, and other synthetic irritants. With excellent dermatological properties and high purity, it is ideal for clean label, natural, and organic product lines.
Application
This surfactant is extensively used in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as facial cleansers, micellar water, shampoos, and body washes. It serves as a primary surfactant in gentle products or a solubilizer for essential oils and actives in toners and cleansing waters. Its ability to reduce irritation and improve the overall texture of formulations makes it a favorite among formulators developing products for sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
Packaging
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is typically available in 25 kg plastic drums, 200 kg HDPE barrels, or 1000 kg IBC containers. All packaging materials comply with international transport and safety standards. Custom packaging solutions can be provided upon request for bulk or specialized use.
Usage Instructions
This surfactant can be added during the water phase or at the final stage of formulation depending on its function (cleanser or solubilizer). It is compatible with a wide range of surfactants and active ingredients. The typical recommended usage level is 1% to 10%, depending on the product type and desired performance. Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain stability.
