Arachidyl Glucoside

A Natural, Skin-Friendly O/W Emulsifier

Arachidyl Glucoside is a natural, sugar-derived (alkyl polyglucoside) emulsifier, supplied as a waxy solid — classically paired with Arachidyl & Behenyl Alcohol.

It builds gentle, liquid-crystal oil-in-water emulsions with a light, cushiony, skin-friendly feel and good tolerance.

Benefits of Arachidyl Glucoside

A dependable functional ingredient that does its job elegantly.

Natural Emulsification: Sugar- and fatty-alcohol-derived O/W emulsifier for natural creams.
Liquid-Crystal Structure: Forms skin-friendly, barrier-mimicking emulsion structures.
Gentle & Well Tolerated: Mild, suitable for sensitive-skin formats.
Elegant Feel: Gives a light, cushiony, non-greasy texture.
COSMOS-Friendly: Well suited to natural / clean positioning.

How It Works

Alkyl glucoside emulsifiers organize the oil and water into lamellar, liquid-crystal layers that resemble the skin’s own lipid structure — producing stable, gentle O/W creams that feel light and support the skin surface.

Formulating with Arachidyl Glucoside

Oil-phase; used with fatty alcohols (Arachidyl / Behenyl) as a self-emulsifying blend to build natural creams.

Arachidyl Glucoside is a mild, well-tolerated natural emulsifier. Substantiate the finished product (patch / HRIPT) per MoCRA.
