  • Applications

    Decyl D-glucopyranoside is a nonionic surfactant commonly used in cosmetics and personal care formulations, including shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, as a mild cleansing agent and foaming base. In household and industrial cleaners such as dish detergents and all-purpose cleaners, it provides effective cleaning with a relatively gentle profile as a biodegradable surfactant. It also functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer for oil-in-water emulsions in creams and lotions. As a solubilizer and co-surfactant, it helps dissolve and disperse fragrance oils and essential oils in formulations. In coatings, inks, and polymer dispersions, it can act as a wetting agent and emulsifier to improve wetting, leveling, and stability of the system.
