Decyl glucoside or decyl d-glucoside, also named decylbeta-
d-glucopyranoside, belongs to the alkyl glucosides
family and is obtained by condensation of the fatty alcohol
decyl alcohol and a d-glucose polymer. This nonionic
surfactant and cleansing agent has been widely
used for several years, due to its foaming power and
good tolerance in rinse-off products such as shampoos,
hair dyes and colors, and soaps. Decyl glucoside is also
employed in leave-on products such as no-rinsing
cleansing milks, lotions, and several sunscreen agents
and is contained as a stabilizing surfactant of organic
microparticles in sunscreen agent Tinosorb? M. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Decyl glucoside is a natural non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglucoside family. It has the function of moisturising the skin and preventing skin dryness, and it is mild and not easy to cause skin irritation. Therefore, it is widely used in personal care products and cosmetics, often added to shampoos and shower gels. |
