  • Mixing different glucosides- does that make much difference for face cleanser?

    Posted by Bluebird on February 12, 2025 at 7:05 pm

    For people who have tried playing with different glucosides as surfactants,

    do you see much difference when you mix different glucosides than using a single one?

    For instance, if you use a single vs mixtures of decyl glucoside, capryl/caprylic glucoside, and/or coco glucoside for foam cleansers?

    Does it create any big, noticeable difference in terms of any meaningful criterion (foam feel, foam lasting, cleansing power, skin feel) or are the differences pretty minor?

    Decyl glucoside is a mixture of 60% capryl/caprylic glucoside and 40% Lauryl glucoside in active surfactants.

    Coco glucoside is a mixture of 40% capryl/caprylic glucoside and 60% lauryl glucoside in active surfactants.

      Isn’t decyl glucoside based on decanol (C10)? I don’t know whether this is universal, but I see APG0810 as the name for glucoside based on a mix of C10 and C8 alcohols, and APG0812 includes lauryl glucoside as well.

    capryl/caprylic glucoside is APG0810.<div>

    Lauryl glucoside is APG12.

    Coco and decyl glucosides are APG0812 mixture different ratios.
