@Pharma @letsalcido Thanks guys so much for taking the time to respond. I am not a chemist although I have been pondering the idea of going back to school to get my degree. Either way I am passionate about skin care and wanted to formulate a face wash without fatty acids including c12- c24 because I read that it can feed Malassezia (Pityrosporum) folliculitis through a blog called http://www.simpleskincarescience.com and it’s related articles. With my own research I have read that Decyl glucoside contains c8-c16. I believe that my question may have been too open for interpretation because I did not explain my reasoning, apologies. I’ve already had Capryl Glucoside in mind, but was wondering if there were any others. Thanks again for the recommendations!
