Decyl Glucoside
The Ultra-Gentle Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
Decyl Glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant derived from corn glucose and coconut oil, prized for its extremely gentle cleansing action. It’s widely used in natural and sensitive-skin formulations, including baby care, facial cleansers, and micellar waters.
What makes Decyl Glucoside special is its ability to cleanse without disrupting the skin’s natural barrier. It lifts dirt and impurities effectively while maintaining the skin’s moisture balance, making it ideal for daily use—even for those with eczema, rosacea, or compromised skin.
As a non-foaming or low-foaming surfactant, Decyl Glucoside doesn’t produce the rich lather of synthetic cleansers—but that’s precisely what makes it safer and more skin-compatible. It’s often used in combination with other mild surfactants like Coco Betaine to improve texture and foaming capacity.
Biodegradable and plant-derived, Decyl Glucoside is aligned with clean beauty standards and eco-conscious formulations. If your goal is to maintain clean, calm, and healthy skin without over-stripping, this ingredient deserves a place in your routine.
