Glucoside-based emulsifiers for use in face cream
Lauryl, capryl, coco, decyl-glucosides. Are they all equally good emulsifiers when paired at the same concentration with glyceryl stearate/cetearyl alcohol? Are there any disadvantages to using one over the other? I remember reading that decyl glucoside is mildest to the skin.

Terrible idea. I tried that… some variety of Emulgin. Comedogenic! Massively so!

Haha, well I didn’t expect for it to be a terrible idea, but I can believe you. Montanov 58 MB seemed non-comedogenic though, though it contains cetearyl glucoside instead. Maybe decyl glucoside is less comedogenic than the other ones I listed above?

Lauryl Glucoside (and) Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate (and) Glycerin
Emulgin VL75. It was terrible. After leaving the sample for a month it had separated into 2/3 glucoside and the rest, the other stuff.

Hahaha I can imagine your disappointment. However, the Montanov series seem quite different in that I haven’t seen any of them contain polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate or glycerin. I was planning on simply combining decyl/lauryl glucoside with glyceryl stearate.

I concluded that the glucoside was really a bad thing. When testers tried the sample (volar forearm) it caused a crop of whiteheads immediately.

That sounds terrible
