Coco Glucoside

Coco Glucoside is a gentle, plant-derived cleanser made from coconut oil and fruit sugars. It’s a non-ionic surfactant, which means it cleans without disrupting the skin’s natural balance. Mild, biodegradable, and sulfate-free, it’s an excellent choice for sensitive skin and eco-conscious formulations. We use Coco Glucoside in our washes and hair care products for its ability to create a soft, creamy lather while remaining kind to skin and hair.
