Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside (Milcoside)

CCG, or Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, is a mild, solubilising non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable raw materials: fatty alcohols and glucose of vegetable origin. This versatile ingredient contains approximately 40% – 60% active matter and is ECOCERT compliant, preservative-free, and free of impurities.

In its physical form, CCG is a clear to light yellow viscous liquid that significantly enhances the foaming capacity in both skincare and haircare products. Its viscosity may vary with temperature; it becomes more easily pourable as temperatures warm up, ensuring ease of use throughout different seasons.

One of the outstanding benefits of Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is its ability to act as an emulsifier, seamlessly mixing essential oils and water. This property also allows for the blending of denser oils, such as carrier oils, into your formulations, enhancing their versatility and performance.

CCG combines exceptionally well with other glucosides, making it ideal for creating a complete foaming shower gel or shampoo. It provides a balanced blend of flash foam and denser foam, elevating the user experience. For those seeking to increase foam density, adding coco betaine and decyl glucoside can further enhance your formulation.

By incorporating Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside into your products, you demonstrate a commitment to quality, customisation, and eco-consciousness. This ingredient not only enhances the effectiveness and appeal of your formulations but also aligns with eco-friendly values, ensuring your customers feel supported and valued. This approach reinforces your expertise and reliability, offering end-to-end support and flexibility to meet the diverse needs of your clientele, fostering long-term trust and satisfaction.
