Coco Glucoside
Mild nonionic surfactant that boosts foam quality and improves skin feel in gentle cleansers, shampoos, and baby-friendly wash-off formulas.
Coco Glucoside is a mild, nonionic surfactant commonly used to build gentle cleansing systems with a creamy foam profile.
It helps improve the feel of wash-off products and pairs well with anionic and amphoteric surfactants to reduce harshness and improve foam stability.
Coco glucoside can contribute to thicker textures depending on your surfactant blend and electrolyte level, and it is widely used in body washes, facial cleansers, shampoos, and hand washes.
FEATURES
- Mild cleansing – supports gentle rinse-off products with better comfort.
- Creamy foam – improves lather texture and foam stability.
- Blend friendly – works well with anionics and amphoterics to balance performance.
- Good sensory – improves slip and reduces “squeaky clean” feel.
BEST FOR
- Body wash
- Facial cleanser gels
- Shampoo blends
- Hand wash
- Baby wash systems
- Foaming cleansers
FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Coco-Glucoside |
|---|---|
| Type | Nonionic surfactant (alkyl polyglucoside) |
| Solubility | Water soluble / water dispersible (paste form) |
| Use Rate | 1–15% typical as supplied. 2–8% is common in gentle cleanser blends. |
| ASM (Active Matter) | ~48–55% typical (check label to confirm) |
| CMC | ~0.02–0.05% (approx., system dependent) |
| pH Compatibility | We recommend finished product pH 4.5–7.5 for most rinse-off products. |
| Temperature Tolerance | Stable under normal processing. We recommend warming gently for easier pouring, then avoid prolonged high heat holding. |
| Pro Tip | Add coco glucoside into the surfactant blend with steady mixing to reduce aeration. For better mildness, pair with amphoterics like CAPB or cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine. For viscosity, adjust with salt carefully after the full blend is complete, because APGs can shift the salt curve and clarity. |
| Appearance | Viscous clear to pale yellow liquid |
| Stability Notes | Clarity and viscosity depend on surfactant ratio, salt level, fragrance load, and preservative. Test your full system early. |
| Storage | Keep sealed, cool and dry. Protect from freezing. Warm gently if it thickens in cold conditions. |
