INGREDIENT OVERVIEW

Coco-Glucoside

Coco-glucoside is a mild non-ionic surfactant used in cosmetic formulations to create gentle, well-balanced cleansing systems.

It is commonly used in facial cleansers, body washes, and shampoos where mildness and skin compatibility are priorities. It can be used as a primary surfactant or combined with amphoteric surfactants such as cocamidopropyl betaine to improve foam quality and reduce irritation potential.

In formulation, coco-glucoside provides effective cleansing with a softer sensory profile compared to harsher surfactants, making it suitable for frequent-use and sensitive-skin systems.

Our grade is supplied as a cosmetic-grade liquid with controlled active content and low impurity profile, supporting consistent formulation performance.

FORMULATION NOTES

Processing notes

Add to the water or surfactant phase with gentle mixing until uniform. Avoid excessive aeration.

Compatibility notes

Compatible with most surfactants, including amphoteric and non-ionic systems. Works well in mild cleanser formulations and alongside humectants and conditioning additives.

pH notes

Supplied at high pH (~11–12). Final formulation pH must be adjusted.

Formulation examples

Facial cleanser

Coco-glucoside: 3–6%
Cocamidopropyl Betaine: 3–6%
Humectants

Body wash

Coco-glucoside: 5–10%
CAPB: 3–8%
Refatting agent: 2–4%

Shampoo

Coco-glucoside: 5–10%
Surfactant system
Conditioning additives

Troubleshooting

Harsh feel → increase CAPB or reduce overall surfactant load
Low foam → adjust ratio with amphoteric surfactants
High pH → adjust final formulation pH
Thin viscosity → add thickener or adjust system

COMPARISON & ALTERNATIVES

Amphoteric system: cocamidopropyl betaine
Stronger surfactants: anionic systems
Complementary: refatting agents for improved mildness

SENSORY PROFILE

Coco-glucoside provides a mild, soft cleansing feel with light foam. It contributes to a less harsh, more comfortable skin feel compared to stronger surfactants.
