In the competitive landscape of personal care, the demand for mild, effective, and skin-friendly ingredients is consistently high. For R&D scientists and product formulators, identifying surfactants that cleanse without causing irritation is paramount. D-Glucopyranose, oligomeric, C12-14-alkyl glycosides (CAS 157707-88-5), commonly known as C12-14 APGs, have emerged as a superior choice due to their exceptional mildness and excellent cleansing properties. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of these specialty chemicals in China, we are committed to providing formulators with the highest quality ingredients for sensitive skin applications.

Understanding Mildness in Surfactants

Surfactants work by reducing surface tension, allowing oil and water to mix, thus enabling the removal of dirt and sebum. However, some surfactants can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, redness, and irritation. Mild surfactants, like our C12-14 APGs, achieve effective cleansing with minimal disruption to the skin's natural barrier. This is a critical attribute for products intended for daily use, sensitive skin, and baby care.

Why C12-14 Alkyl Polyglucosides Excel

Our D-Glucopyranose, oligomeric, C12-14-alkyl glycosides are derived from glucose and fatty alcohols, making them naturally mild and biodegradable. The C12-14 alkyl chain length provides an optimal balance for surfactant performance, offering robust detergency and foaming while maintaining a gentle profile. Unlike some anionic surfactants, APGs do not exhibit the same potential for skin irritation. This makes them an ideal primary or co-surfactant in a wide range of personal care products, including:

  • Facial Cleansers: Gentle yet effective removal of impurities without stripping natural moisture.
  • Body Washes and Shower Gels: Creating a luxurious, mild lather that cleanses and softens the skin.
  • Shampoos: Effective cleansing of hair and scalp with minimal irritation, suitable for frequent use.
  • Baby Care Products: Extremely gentle formulations for delicate infant skin.

When you decide to buy these ingredients, partnering with a reputable manufacturer and supplier in China like us ensures consistent quality and a product with a proven track record for mildness.

Performance Benefits Beyond Mildness

While mildness is a key selling point, our C12-14 APGs also deliver excellent performance. They contribute to a rich, creamy foam and possess good emulsification properties, helping to stabilize formulations. Their natural origin and biodegradability further enhance their appeal in a market that increasingly values sustainable and ethically sourced ingredients. For formulators looking to create products that are both effective and gentle, these APGs are an indispensable component.
