Coco Glucoside

Coco-Glucoside

A gentle cleanser made from coconut and corn sugar, in the same mild group as decyl glucoside.

What it does

It’s a mild cleanser made from coconut alcohol and corn sugar, as gentle as decyl and lauryl glucoside with slightly different foam. Cleansers in this family are often chosen for damaged or easily irritated skin, where a sulfate cleanser would make things worse.

The evidence, graded

moderateFragrance, essential oils, denatured alcohol and certain preservatives (methylisothiazolinone, the formaldehyde-releasers) are the usual suspects on sensitive skin. In the patch-test data read here — patients whose dermatitis was linked to a cleanser — the preservative quaternium-15 topped the list at 11.2% and fragrance mix I came fifth at 7.7%.
