Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside: light foam and gentle formulation
What is Caprylyl Capryl Glucoside?
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside (68515-73-1) is a non-ionic surfactant of plant origin, derived from the combination of glucose and caprylic and capric fatty acids (C8 and C10).
Like other APGs, it is gentle on the skin, biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
It has a high foaming power and is distinguished by high solubility and a light and airy foam , which makes it particularly suitable for boosting foam in facial cleansers and foaming shower gels.
In addition to its cosmetic use, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is used in detergents, the chemical industry and animal care.
