Overview of C8 Alkyl Glucoside    

C8 Alkyl glucoside, also known as Isooctyl glucoside, is a non-ionic surfactant widely used in cosmetics, personal care products, and cleaning agents. This ingredient is known for its excellent stability and gentleness, which can effectively improve the texture and performance of the product. At the same time, the biocompatibility and safety of C8 Alkyl glucoside have been rigorously evaluated, making it skin and environmentally friendly. During the production process, strict quality control and regulatory measures are implemented to ensure the stability and purity of the product. Compared with other similar components, C8 Alkyl glucoside exhibits unique advantages such as excellent emulsification, thickening, and stability performance. Although research on its degradation and environmental persistence is not yet sufficient, it is still necessary to pay attention to its potential environmental impacts and take corresponding measures to reduce risks.

Characteristic of C8 Alkyl Glucoside

Mildness: C8 alkyl glucoside is a mild surfactant with low skin and eye irritation, suitable for sensitive skin and baby care products.

Good solubility: it can effectively dissolve a variety of oil-based and water-based components to form a uniform lotion or suspension.

Ecological friendliness: C8 alkyl glucoside has good biodegradability and minimal environmental impact, which is in line with the concept of green chemistry.

Stability: It can maintain good stability over a wide range of pH values and temperatures.

Multifunctional: It can be used as an emulsifier, thickener, stabilizer, and other roles in cosmetics, skincare products, and personal care products.

Application of C8 Alkyl Glucoside    

Cleaning and washing: C8 Alkyl glucoside has the characteristics of mild cleaning, and the alkyl chains in its molecules have strong lipophilicity, which can effectively adsorb and remove pollutants such as oil and dirt on the skin surface, providing a clean and refreshing feeling for the skin. At the same time, its hydrophilic sugar chain can combine with water molecules to form a stable lotion in the washing process, ensuring the stability and durability of the cleaning effect, without causing irritation and dryness to the skin.

Storage Conditions:

Sealed container: Ensure that C8 Alkyl Glucoside is stored in a well sealed container to prevent contact with moisture and oxygen in the air, thereby avoiding chemical reactions such as oxidation or hydrolysis.

Temperature control: It is recommended to store at room temperature to avoid high or low temperatures. High temperature may cause its decomposition, while low temperature may lead to its crystallization.

Avoid light: Store C8 Alkyl Glucoside in a dark place as prolonged exposure to light may cause it to decompose or change color.

Keep dry: Ensure the storage location is dry and avoid dampness, as humidity may cause C8 Alkyl Glucoside to absorb moisture and undergo hydrolysis.

Avoid mixing with chemicals: Ensure that C8 Alkyl Glucoside does not mix with other chemicals, especially strong acids, bases, or oxidants, to avoid unnecessary chemical reactions.

Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the stored C8 Alkyl Glucoside to ensure that it has not undergone any discoloration, crystallization, or other physical property changes. If any abnormalities are found, immediate action should be taken.
