Coco Glucoside

Description

Coco glucoside is a type of alkyl glucoside derived from glucose and coconut oil. It is a natural and vegetable based surfactant, cloudy yellow in colour and viscous in consistency. Coconuts grow on the palm tree (cocus nuferia) mainly in lowland tropical parts of the world. Coco glucoside is a type of alkyl glucoside, which is formed by mixing alcohols and sugar or glucose.

Coco Glucoside is natural, biodegradable and safe for the environment. Coco-Glucoside is very mild and acts primarily as a gentle cleansing agent, suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. It also works very well as an emulsifier aiding the combining of water and oils such as essential oils and some carrier oils.

Coco Glucoside is one of the mildest surfactants on the market. It works by breaking surface tension in liquids, which aids cleansing. It also possess excellent foaming properties and can maintain skin balance.

COCO GLUCOSIDE BENEFITS

Sourced from Coconut Oil, this soothing raw material is reputed to exhibit similar qualities, such as its non-greasy hydrating properties, which cleanse the skin while its conditioning property prevents it from drying out. When added to hair products, this conditioning ability helps to smooth out the strands, making them more manageable.

With ultra-gentle cleansing properties, Coco Glucoside is well-suited to all skin types and makes an ideal addition to mild formulations for natural products that are especially intended for sensitive skin. These may include toiletries, skin care, hair care, and personal hygiene products, even those meant for the delicate skin of babies as well as for acne-prone complexions.

Known for exhibiting extraordinary foaming properties, Coco Glucoside produces a highly-pleasing and stable foam, making it an ideal addition to foaming bath products, such as bubble baths and shampoos. Being compatible with all other surfactants, it can be mixed as a co-surfactant without risking the stability, performance, or the foaming and cleansing capacity of the final product. It easily allows for a natural preparation to be thickened while maintaining the gentleness and efficacy of the resultant formulation.

When added to soaps, Coco Glucoside’s emulsifying property prompts oil and water to combine, thereby making it easier for oily residue found on the skin or hair to attach to soap and water, leaving the body cleansed of any grease without stripping away its natural oils.
