Coco-glucoside and Glyceryl Oleate

Incorporate at 1-5% in the surfactant/active phase of formulations. Cold-processable; add directly to cleansers, shampoos, or shower gels during mixing. Compatible with clear, opacified, and pearlized systems; enhances viscosity in sulfate-free formulas. 

Formulation Reference

• Solubility: Soluble in: water. Dispersible in: water (viscous liquid/paste). 
• Processing Temperature: Add at: 59-77°F (15-25°C).  Heat tolerance: >100°C flash point. Avoid: prolonged >86°F (30°C). 
• Melting Point / Form: Liquid at room temperature. Softening point: 104°F (40°C). Crystallizes below 50°F (10°C), reversible. 
• Recommended Phase: Water phase (heated or cool-down) 
• Recommended pH: Stable at pH 3.0-4.0 (5% solution)

Option 1: Rinse-Off Shampoo

Incorporate at 1% to 5% into the surfactant phase of a shampoo as a refatting agent to deposit conditioning lipids and leave a smooth after-feel. Add cold directly during mixing.

Option 2: Sulfate-Free Body Wash

Use at 1% to 5% in a sulfate-free body wash to enhance viscosity and add a soft, conditioned skin feel on rinse. Compatible with clear, opacified, and pearlized systems.

Option 3: Facial Cleansing Gel

Add at 1% to 4% into a surfactant facial cleanser to support a mild, cushioned lather and a smooth after-feel. Blend into the active phase and adjust final viscosity as needed.

Option 4: To Add to a Finished Base

To add coco-glucoside and glyceryl oleate to a finished cleanser, shampoo, or shower gel, stir it directly into the surfactant base at room temperature, as it is cold-processable. Incorporate it at a typical use rate of about 1% to 5%, adding it gradually while mixing to keep the batch smooth. Because it is water-soluble, no pre-melting is needed; simply blend thoroughly for even distribution and to build viscosity in sulfate-free systems. After incorporation, confirm the product is homogeneous and check that the final pH sits within the stable acidic range of roughly 3.0 to 4.0.
