Decyl D-glucopyranoside (CAS 54549-25-6), also known as Decyl D-glucoside, is a mild, plant-derived nonionic surfactant.

Where is Decyl D-glucopyranoside used?

• Personal care: primary or co-surfactant in facial cleansers, shampoos and body washes where low irritation potential is a priority
• Rinse-off products for sensitive skin or baby care: stable foam generation and soil removal
• Food-contact and food processing: cleaning and degreasing agent
• Green chemistry: emulsified systems requiring a mild, biodegradable surfactant
• It delivers foaming, emulsification and cleansing performance.

Good to know: Technical and cosmetic grades are the most common forms. Buyers should verify purity, active matter content and compliance documentation for their target market.

Commercial specifications

• Active content concentration to confirm with suppliers
• Residue profile and regulatory acceptance are key sourcing considerations
