Coco Glucoside and Glyceryl oleate is a high performance additive that supports moisturisation in surfactant systems and improves the wet compatibility of the hair

Coco Glucoside and Glyceryl oleate

Coco glucoside and Glyceryl oleate is a free EO/PO lipid layer enhancer for the production of cleansing preparations. It is sulphate free and it can be used in creating cold process formulas and acts as a natural thickener in liquid soaps or shower gels. It works well in clear, opaque and pearly formulas. It is often added at the primary phase of a cosmetic formulation.

Characteristics

It is a high performance additive that supports moisturization in surfactant systems and improve the wet combability of the hair. It works well in formulations aimed towards sensitive skin types. When used in a foaming formulation, Coco glucoside and Glyceryl oleate increases the viscosity to create thicker, better lathering cosmetic products. It softens and conditions the skin by depositing Glyceryl Oleate on its surface.
