Formulation summary

Coco-glucoside is used as a primary or supporting surfactant to provide gentle cleansing and
improve formulation mildness.

It is commonly combined with amphoteric surfactants such as cocamidopropyl betaine to balance cleansing performance, improve foam quality, and reduce irritation potential. It can also be used alongside conditioning additives and humectants to create well-rounded cleansing systems.
