Coco-Glucoside — Plant-Based Non-Ionic Surfactant for Sulphate-Free Shampoo & Body Wash

Product Overview

Coco-Glucoside is a core shampoo and body wash ingredient used by formulators worldwide for plant-based non-ionic surfactant applications. This cosmetic and personal-care grade material is supplied in bulk by VeraVita Biotech for B2B brands, contract manufacturers and private-label producers who need reliable quality, full documentation and consistent supply from China. Whether you are building a sulphate-free shampoo, a conditioning body wash, an anti-dandruff treatment or a mild baby wash, Coco-Glucoside is the functional raw material that helps the formula perform.

Key Features

• Mild, plant-derived alkyl polyglucoside (APG) surfactant from coconut and glucose
• Excellent skin compatibility and biodegradability profile
• Compatible with anionic, amphoteric and cationic surfactants
• Boosts foam quality when paired with SLES-free systems
• Sulphate-free and EO-free, ideal for natural and clean-label concepts

How It Works

• Mild cleansing: the glucose head group is large and non-ionic, reducing interaction with skin proteins and making coco-glucoside one of the mildest surfactants available.
• Foam synergy: APGs do not foam strongly alone but create dense, creamy foam when combined with anionic or amphoteric surfactants.
• Plant-derived origin: synthesised from renewable coconut fatty alcohol and glucose; readily biodegradable and low aquatic toxicity.

Typical Applications

• Sulphate-free shampoo: baby shampoo, sensitive-scalp shampoo, colour-safe shampoo
• Body & bath: mild body wash, shower gel, intimate wash, baby bath
• Facial cleansing: foaming cleansers, micellar waters, make-up removers
• Natural / organic lines: COSMOS- and ECOCERT-aligned formulations
• OEM / ODM: sulphate-free and natural-positioned shampoo and body wash

Formulation Notes

• Use at 3–10% active in sulphate-free shampoos, combined with CAPB or amino-acid surfactants for foam and viscosity.
• Add into the water phase before pH adjustment; final formula pH should be brought to 5.0–6.5.
• Works well with decyl glucoside and lauryl glucoside to fine-tune foam volume and skin feel.
• Avoid pairing with high levels of cationic ingredients that can reduce solubility.

Storage & Handling
