Decyl Glucoside 100 g

A gentle plant-based cleanser for sensitive skin and hair formulas

Decyl Glucoside in a 100 g pack is a compact quantity of a mild, plant-derived washing agent produced from corn starch and coconut oil. This size works well for home cosmetic making and trial batches, giving formulators room to test a recipe before scaling it up to larger production. The product belongs to the category of Surfactants, which brings together cleansing and foaming agents used across shampoos, shower gels, facial washes and household cleaning products.

The main application of decyl glucoside is in gentle cleansing formulas: baby shampoos, intimate hygiene products, sensitive skin facial washes, and sulfate-free lines. Thanks to its low irritation potential, it is frequently used in newborn care products and formulas for reactive or atopic skin. In food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, related alkyl polyglucosides serve as emulsifiers and solubilizers, while in household chemistry they form the base of mild dishwashing liquids and delicate fabric cleaners.

Decyl glucoside blends well with other surfactants, boosting foam and softening the overall profile of a formula. Paired with a stronger foaming agent like Texapon OCN 100 g, it reduces the irritation potential of the finished product while keeping a rich lather. It is also commonly combined with the mild anionic surfactant PLANTAPON SF 100 g to build balanced shampoo and gel formulas without a tight, dry feeling on the skin. To improve texture and skin feel, formulators often add the conditioning ingredient Cromollient SCE 50 g, which softens the formula and gives the product a pleasant consistency.

A typical dosage of decyl glucoside in finished recipes ranges from 5 to 20 percent of the total mass, depending on the desired foam density and the intended purpose of the product. It is added during the water phase mixing stage, at temperatures from room temperature up to 40-50 degrees, making it convenient to work with even without specialized equipment. It remains stable across a wide pH range, allowing combination with both acidic and alkaline additives without losing its foaming properties. Store the product in a tightly sealed container, in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and freezing conditions.

When working with decyl glucoside, keep in mind that it responds weakly to salt thickening, so additional thickening surfactants are recommended to adjust the final viscosity of the product. This ingredient works equally well in simple single-surfactant cleansing gels and in complex multi-ingredient formulas containing active additives, extracts and oils.
