Decyl Glucoside - Sulfate Free - 5KG

Decyl Glucoside is a naturally derived, biodegradable, non-ionic surfactant used to create gentle cleansing products with good foam. It is commonly used as a base surfactant or co-surfactant in sulphate-free shampoos, body washes, bubble baths, and other rinse-off formulas. This ingredient is supplied alkaline, so finished formulas usually need pH adjustment to bring them into a skin-friendly range.

It is a cleansing raw material, not a finished wash product. Why we love it: We choose to stock Decyl Glucoside because it offers a mild, versatile route into sulphate-free cleansing systems without leaning on harsher surfactants. The ECOCERT, COSMOS, and RSPO alignment also makes it a strong fit for formulation work where natural positioning and sourcing standards matter.
