Description

Hexyl glucoside (CAS 54549-24-5 ) is a short-chain alkyl polyglucoside surfactant derived from glucose and hexanol. It functions as a mild emulsifier, foam booster, and cleansing agent across personal care and industrial cleaning formulations. In rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic formulations, this ingredient improves skin compatibility while contributing to emulsification and sensory profile. Home care and industrial cleaning products incorporate it as a co-surfactant. These applications enhance degreasing performance and stabilize foam systems. Its low irritation profile makes it a preferred choice in baby care, sensitive skin cleansers, and mild shampoo bases where surfactant mildness is a sourcing criterion. Food-contact and specialty cleaning applications also draw on its biodegradable character. This supports formulations where environmental compliance is a procurement requirement for modern industrial standards. The product is typically supplied as a liquid or aqueous solution, with active content concentrations commonly in the 50–60% range. Technical and cosmetic grades are the standard market offerings for global distribution. Cosmetic-grade material meets purity requirements relevant to personal care manufacturing. Packaging options generally range from drums to IBC containers suited to industrial-scale procurement and logistics. Contact us for supply of Hexyl glucoside Request Quote
