What Is Decyl Glucoside?
Decyl Glucoside belongs to the alkyl polyglucoside (APG) non-ionic surfactant family. It is synthesized via green condensation reaction between renewable plant source decyl (C10) fatty alcohol and glucose extracted from corn starch. The commercial raw material is a pale yellow viscous liquid with 50-55% active content.
It is well known for extremely low skin and eye irritation, excellent solubilizing capacity, and good wetting performance. It delivers light, clean rinse off feel without heavy residual film on skin or hair. Fully biodegradable, it is a star raw material for clean beauty, sensitive skin, and infant safe cleansing products.
Different from Coco Glucoside (mixed C8-C16 carbon chain APG), Decyl Glucoside uses single C10 carbon chain structure, featuring stronger solubilizing power, lighter skin feel and lower viscosity building property. It can be applied as primary surfactant or compounded with other surfactants to improve mildness. It cannot be thickened by sodium chloride salt; polymer thickeners such as xanthan gum or HEC are required for viscosity adjustment. Aogebio supplies high purity cosmetic grade Decyl Glucoside in bulk, offering samples, full qualification documents and global one stop shipping services for cosmetic manufacturers.
Core Advantages Of Our Decyl Glucoside
Renewable Plant Derived & Strictly Purified
Adopts green synthesis and multi-step refining process, low residual impurities, faint neutral odor, complies with COSMOS / Ecocert natural cosmetic raw material standards, suitable for premium clean beauty formula systems.
Ultra Low Irritation & Skin-Friendly Performance
Non-ionic molecular structure, minimal disruption to skin acid mantle. Effectively removes dirt, sebum and light makeup residue without over-stripping skin lipids. Highly suitable for barrier damaged sensitive skin and infant care applications.
Excellent Solubilizing & Wetting Ability
Superior solubilizing capacity for fragrance and lipophilic actives; outstanding wetting performance on skin and hair surface, ideal raw material for micellar water and mild makeup remover formulations.
Good Surfactant Compatibility
Fully compatible with anionic, amphoteric, other non-ionic surfactants, as well as most humectants and water soluble cosmetic actives; flexible formula matching for various rinse off cleansing products.
Light Clean Rinse Off Skin Feel
Leaves no sticky heavy residue after rinsing; avoids the greasy coating feeling of some other APG surfactants, brings refreshing clean sensory experience for facial and body cleansing.
Eco-Friendly & High Biodegradability
High biodegradation rate in natural environment, low aquatic toxicity, perfect choice for environmentally friendly natural cosmetic series.
Stable Batch Quality & Flexible Supply
Consistent batch to batch active content and physical chemical indicators, fit for large scale industrial production; support sample testing, small batch trial order and large volume bulk customization.
How Decyl Glucoside Works In Cosmetic Formulations
Decyl Glucoside molecules are composed of lipophilic C10 decyl alcohol tail and hydrophilic glucose sugar head group. In aqueous cleansing systems, surfactant molecules assemble at oil-water interfaces to form micelles, wrapping sebum, dirt and particulate impurities, which are washed away together during rinsing process.
Thanks to its non-ionic characteristic, it will not strongly bind with skin keratin protein, greatly reducing tight-dry post-wash sensation caused by harsh anionic surfactants. When compounded with CAPB, coco glucoside or other surfactants, mixed micelles are formed to further reduce overall formula irritation and optimize foam texture.
Note: raw Decyl Glucoside liquid is strongly alkaline. Finished cleansing product must be pH adjusted down to skin friendly 4.5-6.5 range by citric acid or lactic acid. It cannot be thickened by sodium chloride salt, requiring polymer thickeners for viscosity building.
Main Functions & Cosmetic Application Fields
Core Functional Benefits
- • Ultra-mild cleansing agent: remove dirt, excess sebum and light makeup residue without damaging skin barrier
- • Foaming & foam boosting agent: generate fine creamy foam, improve foam performance when compounded with other surfactants
- • Co-surfactant: lower overall irritation of mixed surfactant cleansing formula
- • Solubilizer & wetting agent: solubilize perfume and lipophilic actives; improve wetting effect for micellar cleansing system
- • Light clean rinse off feel, no sticky residual film; plant origin biodegradable for natural cosmetic concepts
Suitable Cosmetic Formulas
- • Sensitive skin sulfate free foaming facial cleanser
- • Micellar water, mild rinse off makeup remover
- • Gentle natural shampoo, infant tear free shampoo
- • Body wash, shower gel, bubble bath and hand washing liquid
- • Baby bath products, children mild cleansing formulations
- • Mild pet shampoo and eco-friendly rinse off cosmetic base
Formulation Guide: Dosage, Solubility & Matching Tips
Recommended dosage:
- -Gentle facial cleanser & micellar base: 2%-10%
- -Shampoo & hair care cleansing product: 5%-18%
- -Body wash / shower gel / bubble bath: 5%-25%
- -Baby & infant cleansing formula: 3%-12%
Solubility: Fully soluble in water phase; partially dispersible in oil phase, add directly into water phase under stirring.
Recommended matching ingredients: Cocamidopropyl Betaine(CAPB), Coco Glucoside, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, glycerin, panthenol, xanthan gum, citric acid (pH adjuster).
Formulation Notes:
- -Raw material presents high alkaline pH. After formula mixing, must use citric acid / lactic acid to adjust finished product pH to skin friendly 4.5-6.5.
- -Cannot be thickened by sodium chloride; adopt xanthan gum, HEC and other polymer thickeners to adjust system viscosity.
- -Processing temperature suggested ≤70℃; long time high temperature heating may cause color deepening and performance decline.
- -For richer and denser foam, compound with amphoteric surfactants such as CAPB or coco glucoside.
- -Seal and store under cool dry condition; avoid direct sunlight and high temperature storage to prevent oxidative yellowing.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q1: What is the difference between Decyl Glucoside and Coco Glucoside?
A: Both belong to alkyl polyglucoside (APG) plant origin non-ionic surfactants. Decyl Glucoside is single C10 carbon-chain, has stronger solubilizing power, lighter clean rinse off feel, low viscosity building effect. Coco Glucoside is mixed C8-C16 carbon-chain, creates denser creamier foam and better thickening ability. They are often compounded together to balance mildness, foam and solubilizing performance。 -
Q2: Can Decyl Glucoside be used for micellar water?
