Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Coco glucoside, also called Coconut Glucosides, is an unpalatable, edible, slightly sweet yellow liquid used as an ingredient in many products. This substance is made by combining coconut oil and fruit sugar and is considered one of the mildest of the tensides, which are foaming and cleansing agents. Coco glucoside is a popular ingredient in natural and organic products because it is fully biodegradable and harmless to the environment.

The use of coco glucoside can be found in a wide range of cosmetic and hygiene products. It is most commonly found in shampoos, shower gels, facial and body cleansing foams, as well as shaving products and cosmetics for children. This is because coco glucoside is mild and gentle on the skin. It does not irritate sensitive or allergic skin and does not cause dryness. In addition, it helps maintain the skin's balance by supporting its natural defences and health. Another reason for its popularity is that this ingredient produces a rich, luxurious lather that provides a pleasant washing experience. Coco glucoside is also ideal for creating sulfate-free products that are kinder to skin and hair.
