Decyl glucoside - Palm free
Decyl glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant made from renewable plant-based materials, specifically, coconut oil–derived fatty alcohols and glucose from corn starch. This palm-free version is a popular choice in natural skincare and haircare formulations due to its gentle cleansing properties, good foaming ability, and high skin compatibility.
It’s ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and is frequently used in formulations like face cleansers, body washes, shampoos, micellar waters, and baby products. Fully biodegradable and derived from natural sources, it aligns well with eco-conscious and sustainable formulations.
