INCI: Coco glucoside

Essentially Natural Coco Glucoside is a very mild, non-ionic surfactant made from coconut-derived ingredients and sugar-based chemistry. It offers gentle cleansing with creamy foam and is ideal for shampoos, body washes, face cleansers and bubble bath. It can also help disperse small amounts of oils in rinse-off formulas, which is useful when working with essential oils. Supplied alkaline, it’s typically used in blends and the finished formula is adjusted to a skin-friendly pH.
