Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a mild, plant-derived surfactant and solubilizer made from coconut fatty alcohols and glucose (sugar). It is known for its ability to gently cleanse while helping essential oils and other lipophilic ingredients disperse evenly into water-based formulations. Completely biodegradable, it is an excellent choice for eco-friendly skincare, haircare, and household products. Our Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is sourced from Wholesale Supplies Plus.
