Coco Glucoside as a Thickener

Coco Glucoside is primarily used as a gentle, natural-origin non-ionic surfactant or detergent, derived from coconut or palm oil and glucose from corn. It is not typically used as a thickener on its own.

To increase the viscosity or thicken formulations that use Coco Glucoside as a detergent (such as shampoos or liquid soaps), you need to use specific thickening agents. The following thickeners are recommended for use with Coco Glucoside:

• SugarThick™ (provides clear formula)
• ClearClean™ (provides opaque/white formula)
• Xanthan Gum (can provide clear formula)
• EasyThick™ (can provide clear formula)
• Mild-Wash™ and/or Coco-Foam™ together with Flora Foam™ (recommended for clear formula, helps create more stable bubbles)
