DECYL GLUCOSIDE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Decyl glucoside is a natural non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglucoside family. It has the function of moisturising the skin and preventing skin dryness, and it is mild and not easy to cause skin irritation. Therefore, it is widely used in personal care products and cosmetics, often added to shampoos and shower gels.

Contact allergens

Decyl glucoside or decyl d-glucoside, also named decylbeta- d-glucopyranoside, belongs to the alkyl glucosides family and is obtained by condensation of the fatty alcohol decyl alcohol and a d-glucose polymer. This nonionic surfactant and cleansing agent has been widely used for several years, due to its foaming power and good tolerance in rinse-off products such as shampoos, hair dyes and colors, and soaps. Decyl glucoside is also employed in leave-on products such as no-rinsing cleansing milks, lotions, and several sunscreen agents and is contained as a stabilizing surfactant of organic microparticles in sunscreen agent Tinosorb?
