Decyl Polyglucose

Disodium Cocopolyglucose Citrate

Disodium Cocopolyglucose Sulfosuccinate

Sodium Cocopolyglucose Tartrate

are found in the EU's list of INCI names.

http://pharmacos.eudra.org/F3/inci/index.htm

These names do not appear in the 9th Edition of the International

Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary (ICID-9). It's possible that those

names appeared in earlier editions. I'll check when I get back in my

lab.

In the ICID-9, you will find:

Decyl Glucoside

Disodium Coco-Glucoside Citrate

Disodium Coco-Glucoside Sulfosuccinate

Sodium Coco-Glucoside Tartrate

Decyl Glucoside is made from Decyl Alcohol and a Glucose polymer.

Coco-Glucoside is made from coconut alcohol with glucose.

Disodium Coco-Glucoside Citrate is made from Citric Acid and

Coco-Glucoside.

Disodium Cocopolyglucose Sulfosuccinate is made from Sulfosuccinic Acid

and Coco-Glucoside.

Sodium Coco-Glucoside Tartrate is made from Tartaric Acid and

Coco-Glucoside.

These are mild surfactants. AFAIK, Disodium Coco-Glucoside Citrate,

Disodium Coco-Glucoside Sulfosuccinate and Sodium Coco-Glucoside

Tartrate are not used very often in the US.

I did check and these names do not appear in the ICID-6.

Thank you Maurice. I spent some time educating myself on anionic and

nonionic surfactants this week. Actually I learned a lot about

surfactants in general. The way you explained the diference between

those helps a lot.

Univar carries the 3 of them, by the drum of course. Unfortunately

none of their " re-packagers/middlemen " carry those.

Thanks again,
