Uses
Decyl Glucoside is a nonionic surfactant used as a foamer, detergent, conditioner or emulsifier. It can be used as a base surfactant or co-surfactant in detergents. It has excellent foaming ability and good skin compatibility. It can be combined with other glucosides using to enhance foaming and skin conditioning properties. It can also be utilised in ionic formulations in order to increase foam depth and emulsification properties. Commonly used in shampoos and body washes.
General Description
This product is a biodegradable surfactant and is aligned with the 10
th principle of Green Chemistry "Design for Degradation".
Contact allergens
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.
Side effects
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review expert panel, or the CIR, deemed Decyl glucoside is completely safe for use, amongst its assessment of nineteen other alkyl glucosides. However, in rare cases, when the individual is hypersensitive towards decyl glucoside, there could be irritation, redness, itching, or burning on the skin. In some cases, this results in contact dermatitis, when the individual has type-4 hypersensitivity to decyl glucoside.
Synthesis
Decyl glucosides (DGs) were prepared from D-glucose with 1-decanol by direct glucosidation over the zeolite catalysts. D-glucose (2.5 g) and 1-decanol (50 mL) were introduced as the reactants. The reactants were put into the reactor with the zeolite catalyst. The reaction was carried out directly in the reactor, stirring at 130 ℃[1].
