What is Coco glucoside?
Coco glucoside (CAS 141464-42-8) is a mild, plant-derived nonionic surfactant produced from coconut fatty alcohols and glucose. Also known in trade as decyl glucoside.
Where is Coco glucoside used?
- Personal care: primary or co-surfactant in baby shampoos, facial cleansers and body washes
- Pairs with anionic surfactants to boost foam volume and moderate harshness, standard in sulfate-free shampoo development
- Household and institutional cleaning: degreasing in surface sprays and hand dishwashing liquids
- Food-contact surface sanitizers and produce wash concentrates utilize this surfactant for cleaning efficacy.
Good to know: Selected where gentle cleansing with low irritation potential is a sourcing priority; useful where biodegradability is a strict formulation requirement. Cosmetic grade meets COSMOS and ECOCERT criteria for natural and organic lines.
Commercial specifications
- Aqueous solution at 50–70% active content
