Coco Glucoside is an non-ionic surfactant that can be used as a foaming agent, conditioner or emulsifier. It is a favourite because of its natural credentials, derived from Coconut and Fruit Sugars. It is completely biodegradable and contains no lauryl sulphates, laureth sulphates, parabens, formaldehyde or diethanolamides.
Makes a lovely body wash and also works well in hand wash and bath foam. It is in liquid form so can be cold processed.
A yellow to golden yellow, cloudy and viscous liquid, which increases the foaming capacity in skincare and haircare products. It also has the excellent benefit of acting as an emulsifier to allow essential oils and water to mix. Using this surfactant you can also blend some denser oils, such as carrier oils into your products.
How to use
Blend with other surfactants to produce a foaming product with skin cleansing abilities. Works excellently blended with Cocamidopropyl betaine.

I use this as a mild cleanser in my homemade shampoo. It’s really great and I’ve been using it for years.
