INCI: Decyl glucoside

Decyl Glucoside is a naturally derived, biodegradable, non-ionic surfactant used to create gentle cleansing products with good foam. It is commonly used as a base surfactant or co-surfactant in sulphate-free shampoos, body washes, bubble baths, and other rinse-off formulas. This ingredient is supplied alkaline, so finished formulas usually need pH adjustment to bring them into a skin-friendly range. It is a cleansing raw material, not a finished wash product.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Decyl Glucoside because it offers a mild, versatile route into sulphate-free cleansing systems without leaning on harsher surfactants. The ECOCERT, COSMOS, and RSPO alignment also makes it a strong fit for formulation work where natural positioning and sourcing standards matter.

Q: What does non-ionic mean?
A: It refers to the surfactant type and is often associated with mildness and good compatibility in blends.

Q: Can Decyl Glucoside be used on its own?
A: It can be used alone, but many formulas combine surfactants for improved feel and overall performance.

Q: Why is pH adjustment important?
A: It helps bring the finished cleanser into a more suitable range for skin and scalp.

Q: Why is RSPO status relevant here?
A: It matters because palm-derived feedstocks can be part of this ingredient category, and RSPO certification helps support more responsible sourcing standards.
