Decyl Glucoside is a non-ionic sugar surfactant produced by condensation of glucose (from plant starches) with a C10 fatty alcohol (from vegetable oils, most commonly coconut/palm or their fractions). Thanks to its origin, it belongs to the milder cleansing agents suitable for natural and “low irritant” cosmetics. In formulations it increases foam formation, improves degreasing and at the same time helps to stabilize the foam in combination with other surfactants.
Some perfumes, solubilizers and extracts disrupt the micellar structure of the surfactant mixture and the viscosity decreases. It helps to adjust the surfactant ratios, choose a different solubilizer or use a compatible thickener.
It can be, but clarity depends on the entire formulation (fragrance, extracts, preservative, pH). When a “crystal clear” gel is required, it is often necessary to fine-tune solubilization and the composition of the surfactant blend.
With sugar surfactants, thickening with salt often does not work the same way as with sulfates. You will usually set the viscosity better with a combination of surfactants (e.g. with betaine) and a suitable polymeric thickener.
Some surfactant blends and perfumes have temperature-sensitive solubility – in cold conditions haze can form. It helps to change the fragrance/solubilizer, adjust surfactant ratios or add a stabilizing component.
It is possible, but some cationic components may worsen clarity or stability. It is recommended to run small compatibility tests and monitor changes in viscosity, haze and sedimentation over time.
