Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a mild alkyl polyglucoside surfactant created by combining plant-derived fatty alcohols (C8-C10 chain length) with glucose through a Fischer glycosidation reaction. This ingredient is particularly valued for its exceptional ability to solubilize essential oils and fragrances into aqueous systems without cloudiness, making it ideal for clear formulations and bi-phase products. Formulators choose it for its mildness on skin, excellent dermatological profile, and ability to boost the solubilization capacity of other surfactants while maintaining formula clarity and stability.
