Description

Octadecyl D-Glucoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable glucose and stearyl alcohol. This compound matters for formulators seeking a mild, biodegradable, and skin-friendly surfactant with excellent emulsifying and foaming properties. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for creating gentle cleansers, shampoos, and emulsion-based products.

Application

• Primary surfactant in mild, sulfate-free shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Emulsifying agent in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Foam booster and stabilizer in liquid soaps and bubble baths.
• Key ingredient in baby care products due to its exceptional mildness.
• Used in pharmaceutical formulations for topical applications.
• Component in high-end household cleaning products requiring biodegradability.
• Research and development applications in novel delivery systems.
