Description
Surfactant CCG – Gentle Surfactant and Natural Solubilizer
Surfactant CCG is an extremely versatile plant-based non-ionic surfactant, highly valued in natural cosmetics for its exceptional gentleness. Obtained from renewable raw materials, it is not just a cleansing surfactant; it is flexible and multifunctional. It offers surprising foaming power for a surfactant that is so delicate with the skin barrier.
Ingredients: Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Aqua.
Characteristics
- Appearance: Viscous liquid, pale yellow in color.
- Active Substance: 62 - 65% (High concentration).
- Nature: Non-ionic surfactant (Alkyl Polyglucoside - APG).
- Origin: 100% vegetable, biodegradable, approved for organic cosmetics.
Main Properties
- Foaming Capacity: Although it is a non-ionic surfactant, it generates a satisfactory and stable foam, improving the foam quality in surfactant blends.
- Efficient Cleansing: Removes impurities without being aggressive to the skin's protective lipid layer.
- Dermatological Gentleness: It has excellent skin tolerance, being much less irritating than classic anionic surfactants.
- Solubilization Power: It is one of the most effective natural solubilizers for essential oils and cosmetic fragrances in aqueous systems.
- Eco-Friendly: Completely biodegradable and obtained through green chemistry processes, without toxic solvents or catalysts.
Usage Recommendations
General recommended dosage: 0.5% - 40%.
Used as a cosmetic ingredient, it is suitable for various cosmetic hygiene and cleansing preparations.
Applications
- Micellar waters and delicate makeup remover lotions.
- Shampoos and shower gels for sensitive skin.
- Hygiene preparations for children.
- Transparent facial toners and lotions.
- Intimate hygiene products.
- Solubilizer for fragrances and essential oils in aqueous solutions and sprays.
Formulation Guide
- Procedure: Add to the aqueous phase. If used as a solubilizer, it is recommended to pre-mix the Surfactant CCG with the essential oil/fragrance, followed by the gradual addition of water.
- Temperature: Can be processed both cold and hot.
- pH Range: Stable within a wide pH range (3.0 - 12.0). Ideally, finished cleansing products should be adjusted to a pH of 5.0 - 5.5.
- Technical tip: Being a non-ionic surfactant, it does not respond to the addition of salt for thickening. To increase viscosity, use gums or amphoteric co-surfactants (coco-betaine).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Surfactant CCG and Coco Glucoside?
Surfactant CCG (Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside) is a much better solubilizer than Coco Glucoside, being preferred when you want to obtain transparent micellar lotions or toners.
Can I use this surfactant alone to wash hair?
Yes, but being very gentle, its power to wash heavy grease may be lower than that of a classic shampoo. It is recommended to combine it with other surfactants for a balanced performance.
Why is it more concentrated than other liquid surfactants?
The 62-65% active concentration means you need a smaller amount of product in the formula to achieve the same cleansing power, making it very economical.
Safety in Use
Profile: Safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable ingredient. Due to its high concentration, it can be irritating to the eyes in its pure state.
Precautions: Wear gloves and eye protection when handling. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse abundantly with water. Keep out of reach of children. Do not ingest.
Storage: Store in the original packaging at temperatures above 15°C. At low temperatures, the product may become cloudy or partially solidify; heat gently and homogenize before use.

Ausgezeichnete Kombination mit Pulvertensiden in Shampoo-bars!!! (40% Pulver/20% flüssiges Tensid)
Neuerdings verwende ich es als alleiniges Tensid im Duschgel, da ich sehr empfindliche Haut habe. Es reinigt sehr gut und man braucht es nicht kombinieren mit anionischen Tensiden.

A wonderful surfactant,with multiple ways it can be used. It's also great for baby or face products. It combines wonderfully with SCI or SLSA (with anaionics) they make a good house together. I have used it in many products. If you want to buy a non-ionic surfactant, this is the one I recommend, It can even dilute between 1%-3% oils

I'm glad I can find this surfactant and even at more affordable volumes. For micellar water, clensere is excellent, goes well with sulfated surfactants, I recommend!
