Glucoside 818 is an Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG), non-ionic surfactant widely used as a primary/basic surfactant as well as a co-surfactant in the formulation of cosmetic products declared as “natural”.
Glucoside 215, as other APGs, provides superior performance by combining the formulation ease of typical non-ionics with the foam characteristic of anionics.
With excellent detergency and processing benefits in a variety of cleaning products, Glucoside 818 exhibits superior wetting, dispersing and interfacial tension reduction properties for increased soil removal and emulsification.
Alkyl Polyglucosides represent the newer class of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-free surfactants, completely biodegradable and produced from renewable resources.
Coco Glucoside is declared a contour surfactant to mitigate the aggressiveness of anionics in all personal cleansing products such as shampoos, shower gels, intimate and facial cleansers and liquid soaps. Due to its foaming power and its delicacy it is often used as a primary surfactant in products for children and for very delicate skin or in products without PEG and sulphates.
