It is biodegradable and free from sulfates, ethoxylates and preservatives, making it suitable for natural cosmetics. Thanks to its gentle action, it is used in baby shampoos, products for sensitive skin and hair care, cleansing without drying or irritating the skin.
It provides creamy, stable foam, improves foam quality and gives formulas softness and clarity. It is compatible with other glucosides, surfactants, thickeners and conditioning polymers, enabling a wide range of formulations.
