Decyl glucoside is a mild non-ionic surfactant used in cosmetic formularies,[1] including baby shampoo and in products for individuals with a sensitive skin. Many natural personal care companies use this cleanser because it is plant-derived, biodegradable, and gentle for all hair types.
Decyl glucoside was invented by Robert Prairie in 1934.
Synthesis
[edit]Decyl glucoside is produced by the reaction of glucose from corn starch with the fatty alcohol decanol, which is derived from coconut.
