Decyl Glucoside as a Co-Emulsifier or Emulsion Stabilizer for Leave On Applications
Can someone explain to me if Decyl Glucoside would be a good emulsion stabilizer or co-emulsifier in lotion/cream (leave on) formulations at < 0.5 %w/w.

I wouldn’t say it’s a good emulsifier for a leave-on product due to it’s allergenic potential. Stick with standard nonionic emulsifiers.

I get surprised when I see glucosides in leave in moisturizers. Usually they are listed after 1% line but it’s strange to see, say coco glucoside, in a luxury Japanese moisturizer.
Thank you for an article, Perry. -
Glucosides leave a sticky afterfeel even in rinse off formulations
The stickiness will become worse in leave on applications. -
It’s a terrible idea.

Adding to the “no, don’t.” I’ve found decyl glucoside in particular to be quite irritating on the skin, and the stickiness it adds is a pain to deal with.

Thank you for everyone’s responses. This was very helpful.

So, with that been said, is it safe to use in rinse off products since reports stated allergens happens more in leave on products with glycosides…
