Decyl glucoside or decyl d-glucoside, also named decylbeta-
d-glucopyranoside, belongs to the alkyl glucosides
family and is obtained by condensation of the fatty alcohol
decyl alcohol and a d-glucose polymer. This nonionic
surfactant and cleansing agent has been widely
used for several years, due to its foaming power and
good tolerance in rinse-off products such as shampoos,
hair dyes and colors, and soaps. Decyl glucoside is also
employed in leave-on products such as no-rinsing
cleansing milks, lotions, and several sunscreen agents
and is contained as a stabilizing surfactant of organic
microparticles in sunscreen agent Tinosorb® M. |
