Introduction
Coco-Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant created by reacting coconut-derived fatty alcohols with glucose from corn or other renewable sources. It is part of the alkyl polyglucoside (APG) family, offering a perfect balance between performance, safety, and sustainability. Due to its natural origin and biodegradability, it is widely used in formulations that prioritize environmental responsibility and skin compatibility.
Application
Coco-Glucoside is primarily used in personal care products like shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, baby care items, and hand soaps. It is also found in eco-friendly household cleaners, including dishwashing liquids and surface sprays. In cosmetics, it serves as a secondary surfactant to improve foam quality and reduce irritation from harsher primary surfactants.
Packaging
This product is typically packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drums or IBC totes, depending on volume requirements. Packaging is sealed to prevent contamination and preserve product integrity during storage and transport. Custom packaging solutions are also available based on customer needs.
Usage Instructions
Coco-Glucoside should be incorporated during the water phase of the formulation process, typically at 1–10% depending on the desired foaming and cleansing strength. It can be blended with other surfactants to improve mildness and emulsification. It is recommended to store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed after each use.
