Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside (CAS No.: 68515-73-1) is a premium non-ionic surfactant belonging to the Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) family. Derived from sustainable fatty alcohols (C8–C10 chain) and natural glucose, it offers a high-purity, renewable alternative to synthetic surfactants. It is specifically engineered to be free from sulfates, PEGs, and other common irritants, making it a cornerstone for clean-label and organic personal care formulations.
Renowned for its exceptional dermatological mildness and versatility, this surfactant is an ideal choice for high-end cosmetic lines focusing on sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Whether acting as a primary cleanser or a high-efficiency solubilizer for essential oils and active ingredients, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside ensures optimal formulation stability while enhancing the overall skin-feel and texture of the final product.
