Coco Glucoside – Natural Surfactant for Mild Cleansers & Baby Care

Coco Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant made from coconut oil and sugar, making it one of the gentlest cleansers used in modern cosmetic formulations. It is often used in baby shampoos, facial cleansers, and body washes due to its skin-friendly profile and excellent foaming ability. It helps reduce the irritation potential of stronger surfactants and contributes to a creamy, stable foam. Perfect for formulating natural, eco-conscious skincare and haircare products.
