Description: Coco Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut oil and glucose. It is widely used in personal care products like shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers due to its gentle cleansing and foaming properties. Coco Glucoside is biodegradable, eco-friendly, and suitable for sensitive skin. It effectively removes dirt and oils without stripping natural moisture. Known for being skin-friendly, it is commonly used in formulations targeting sensitive skin, baby care, and natural cosmetic lines.

Botanical Name: The botanical name for the main plant sources of Coco Glucoside are:

  • Coconut oil: Cocos nucifera
  • Glucose: Typically derived from corn (Zea mays) or wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Plant Part: Coconut and corn

Extraction Method: Glycosylation

Odor and Appearance:

  • Color: Clear to pale yellow or light amber liquid
  • Appearance: Highly viscous liquid
  • Odor: Mild or neutral odor

Please note that these characteristics can vary slightly depending on the specific manufacturing process and purity level.

Country of origin: United States

Main Constituents: The main constituents of Coco Glucoside are coconut-derived fatty alcohols (from Cocos nucifera) and glucose (typically derived from corn or wheat), which combine through a glycosylation reaction to form the mild surfactant.

Common Uses:

  • Shampoos: Provides gentle cleansing and foaming without stripping natural oils from the hair.
  • Body Washes & Shower Gels: Used for its mildness and ability to cleanse the skin without causing dryness.
  • Facial Cleansers: Ideal for sensitive skin, as it cleanses without irritation.
  • Baby Care Products: Commonly found in baby shampoos and body washes due to its gentle and non-irritating nature.
  • Bubble Baths: Contributes to creating a mild and soothing foam.
  • Shaving Products: Used in shaving creams and gels for smooth application and mild cleansing.

Blends well with: Coco Glucoside blends well with anionic surfactants (like sodium lauryl sulfate), amphoteric surfactants (such as cocamidopropyl betaine), and nonionic surfactants (like decyl glucoside). It also works well with emollients, humectants (such as glycerin), preservatives, and essential oils, enhancing foaming, mildness, and moisturizing properties in formulations.

Contraindications: Coco Glucoside is generally considered safe and mild for most skin types, but it may cause irritation in rare cases for individuals with extremely sensitive skin. It is important to conduct a patch test before using products containing Coco Glucoside, especially for those with known allergies or sensitivities to coconut-derived ingredients. Additionally, it may not perform well in extreme pH environments, as very acidic or alkaline conditions can affect its stability.
