Alkylpolyglucosides

They are a group of selected alkyl polyglucosides (APGs), which are nonionic surfactants. They are derived from sugars, usually derivatives of glucose, and fatty alcohols, which are obtained from palm and coconut oils. It is a gentle and ideal alternative to surfactants containing EO/PEG/sulfate.

Functions

• increased foam formation in cleansers;
• effective cleansing;
• alkali resistance;
• compatible with many components;
• detergent and hydrotropic properties;
• Suitable for sensitive skin and children’s cosmetics.

Types of APG with different alkyl chain lengths:

• B2B BP 1200, C12-C16
  is a lauryl glucoside, a non-ionic surfactant with good dermatological compatibility and a synergistic viscosity increasing effect. Suitable as a co-surfactant, especially as an emulsifier in surfactant-based cosmetic cleansers;
• B2B BP 2000, C8-C16
  Decyl glucoside, is a cloudy, viscous aqueous solution of a fatty alcohol glycoside. Has balanced foaming and cleansing properties;
• B2B BP 818, C8-C16
  It is a coconut glucoside with good emulsifying properties while maintaining acceptable foaming properties;
• B2B BP810, C8-C10
  Caprylyl/Capryl glucoside, is a fatty alcohol glucoside that has a lower carbon chain compared to the three aforementioned glucosides. It has excellent solubility, stability, surface and interfacial activity, and excellent foaming characteristics. It is ideal to use as a soft foaming agent.

Application and dosage:

APGs are widely used in the cosmetics industry to enhance foam formation in cleansers, personal care products, and shampoos.

Dosage:

B2B BP 818 (Coco Glucoside) C8-16 . The percentage of introduction into shampoo is 27.0%;
B2B BP 1200 (Lauryl Glucoside) C12-16. The percentage of introduction into shampoo is 2.0%;
B2B BP 2000 (Decyl Glucoside) C8-C16. The percentage of input into the hand sanitizer is 5%.
