Benefits of Decyl Glucoside

• Mild plant-based surfactant: decyl glucoside is a non-ionic alkyl glucoside derived from the condensation of glucose (corn or wheat sugar) and decanol (coconut fatty alcohol). Non-ionic = very gentle on the skin and mucous membranes, with no risk of irritation at normal dosages.
• Biodegradable, sulfate-free: a gentle alternative to conventional SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES -- certified by many natural cosmetic standards.
• Compatible with all skin types, including sensitive skin.
