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.

system.

Love this product. It's gentle on the skin and hair and foams really well. Bought a whole lot more .
Using this product for my own home-made shampoo and I experienced it as being very pure and clean as I did not need to change the pH of my shampoo too much. This product showed the perfect consistency for what I needed! I am very happy in using this product!
Product was received quick with a lovely essential oil as an add on. Great quality. Will order again
