What is Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside?    
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a liquid non-ionic surfactant made from vegetable derived fatty acids and glucose.
I often refer to it as C/C Glucoside since it’s shorter!

INCI: Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside 
Appearance: A viscous, pale yellow liquid.

Usage rate: up to 40%
Scent: Characteristically soapy/detergent-y.
Active Surfactant Matter: 60%
pH: 5.5–6
Charge    Non-ionic
Solubility: Water
Why do we use Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside in formulations?    
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is gentle and contributes great lather to body washes, hand washes, face washes, and anything else liquidy that we want to add bubbles to!
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside’s also a good solubilizer—much better than many other surfactants. 
This means we can incorporate essential and fragrance oils into products like hand washes without the need for another solubilizer, like Polysorbate 20.

Do you need Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside?    
If you’re only going to buy one liquid, non-ionic surfactant, I’d recommend this one.

Strengths    
Good lather + solubilizing.

Weaknesses    
Harder to find than coco glucoside.

Alternatives & Substitutions    
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is quite unique as it is often used as both a surfactant and a solubilizer, so you’ll need to replace both functions.
The alternative I typically suggest is coco glucoside for the cleansing/lathering with added polysorbate 20 and/or polysorbate 80 to solubilize whatever the Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside was solubilizing. 
You’ll also need to lower the pH of your final product if you use coco glucoside as it has a much higher pH than Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside .

How to Work with Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside    
ince Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is liquid Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside can be used in cold-processed recipes, but it can be heated in the heated water phase if needed. 
Avoid vigorous stirring/agitation so you don’t work up too much lather.

Storage & Shelf Life    
Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside should last for two years.

Tips, Tricks, and Quirks    
aprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is the only acidic non-ionic surfactant I’ve managed to find.

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is classified as :

How is Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside made?
Our Stewardship model guides us to select ingredients which have been processed in a manner that supports our philosophy of human and environmental health.

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside  is produced by the reaction of glucose from corn with the fatty alcohol capric alcohol, which is obtained from coconut and/or palm oil.  

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside 
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a pale yellow liquid created from plant-derived fatty acids and sugar. 
‘Caprylyl’ and ‘capryl’ are names to describe fatty acid molecules of different length - 8 carbons long for caprylyl and 10 for capryl. 
The ‘glucoside’ in its name indicates that a glucose (sugar) molecule is attached to these fatty acids. 

As a surfactant (cleaner), Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is effective at creating lather and is also used to mix oils and other ingredients which typically are not capable of mixing into water, a process known as solubilizing. 
This ingredient is produced from renewable vegetable-derived raw materials.

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucosides functions (INCI)
Cleaning Agent: Helps keep a clean surface
Foaming Agent: Captures small bubbles of air or other gases in a small volume of liquid by changing the surface tension of the liquid
Surfactant: Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the uniform distribution of the product during its use

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a natural detergent, non-ionic surfactant, acquired from renewable materials such as fatty alcohols or plants glucose.
