Description

Icosyl D-Glucoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglycoside (APG) family, derived from renewable plant-based glucose and fatty alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and superior surface-active properties, making it a key ingredient in high-performance formulations. It is essential for industries requiring environmentally friendly and skin-compatible surfactants, particularly in personal care, cosmetics, and advanced cleaning applications.

Application

• Primary surfactant in mild, sulfate-free shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Key emulsifying and stabilizing agent in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Foam booster and viscosity modifier in premium household and industrial cleaning products.
• Wetting and dispersing agent in agrochemical formulations and pesticide adjuvants.
• Raw material for the synthesis of more complex sugar-based surfactants and specialty chemicals.
• Component in biomedical and pharmaceutical research for drug delivery systems.
