Product Overview
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is an alkyl polyglucoside (APG) surfactant produced from glucose and fatty alcohols derived from vegetable sources. It is widely used in natural and mild cosmetic formulations because of its cleansing, foaming, wetting and solubilizing properties.
It can be used as a primary surfactant or co-surfactant, depending on the formulation. It is also compatible with anionic, cationic and other non-ionic surfactants.

| Product Name | Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside |
| INCI | CAPRYLYL/CAPRYL GLUCOSIDE |
| CAS No. | 68515-73-1 |
| EC No. | 500-220-1 |
| Chemical Family | Alkyl Polyglucosides |
| Type | Non-Ionic Surfactant |
| Main Function | Cleansing & Foaming |
| Additional Function | Solubilizer / Wetting / Dispersing |
| Solubility | Water Soluble |
| Physical Form | Usually viscous liquid |
| Appearance | Clear to light-yellow liquid |
| Active Matter | Grade dependent |
| pH | Grade dependent |
A commonly listed commercial grade is a clear-to-light-yellow viscous liquid with around 60% active matter, but commercial grades differ.
📊 Typical Technical Range
One commercial reference lists:
- Active Matter: ~60%
- pH: 11.0–12.5
- Viscosity: 1000–3000 mPa·s
- Water Solubility: Soluble
However, these numbers supplier/grade-specific hain. Other APG CCG grades can have different solid content and viscosity.
👉 Isliye website par exact pH, active matter, viscosity aur appearance apne supplier ke TDS ke according hi likhna best rahega.
📌 Recommended Usage
Different suppliers/formulations different use levels recommend karte hain. One formulation reference reports approximately:
- Face Wash: 10–20%
- Shower Gel: 15–30%
- Shampoo: 15–30%
and lists a maximum concentration of 40% for that particular ingredient reference.
Website ke liye safer wording:
Recommended Usage: Use according to the specific supplier’s TDS, formulation type and active matter of the selected grade.
