Decyl Glucoside is not harmful and has a lower skin irritation level compared to other surfactants.
Decyl Glucoside is often an attractive choice for shampoos and other personal care cleaning applications because it has desirable foaming properties.
Consumers often see foam as an essential part of the cleaning process, and Decyl Glucoside produces voluminous foam that has an excellent stability in personal care applications.
Decyl glucoside is primarily used for its surfactant (cleansing) properties.
While most common in facial and body cleansers, you can also find decyl glucoside in products such as self-tanners, sunscreens, and liquid foundations where it may function as an emulsion stabiliser.
Decyl Glucoside is obtained from the condensation of glucose + the fatty alcohol decanol, which comes from coconuts.
Decyl Glucoside's mildness makes it popular for use in baby shampoos.
Decyl Glucoside is known for producing desirable foaming properties.
Decyl Glucoside is a non-ionic sugar surfactant.
Decyl Glucoside is a cloudy, viscous, aqueous solution of a C8-C16 fatty alcohol glycoside.

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 Glucoside were prepared from D-glucose with 1-decanol by direct glucosidation over the zeolite catalysts.
Decyl Glucoside 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 ℃.
