Request SDS →Caprylyl/Myristyl Glucoside (INCI Caprylyl/Myristyl Glucoside; CAS 110676-19-2) is a mild nonionic surfactant of the alkyl-polyglucoside (APG) class — made from glucose and C8–C14 fatty alcohols. It is a sugar-derived, water-soluble cleansing and foam-stabilizing surfactant used as a co-surfactant, emulsifier and solubilizer in mild and sulfate-free personal-care systems.
What is caprylyl/myristyl glucoside?
It is an alkyl polyglucoside: a sugar (glucose) head coupled to a blend of caprylyl (C8) and myristyl (C14) fatty-alcohol tails. The C8 portion drives wetting and detergency while the C14 portion builds and stabilizes foam, so the blend cleanses and foams well while being classed among the mild nonionic surfactants. It is water-soluble and compatible with anionic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants.
Applications by sector
Personal-care cleansing. A co-surfactant and foam stabilizer in shampoos, body washes, facial and hand cleansers and baby washes, and a primary mild surfactant in sulfate-free and APG-based systems. Emulsification & solubilizing. A nonionic emulsifier and solubilizer for oils and fragrance. Household & industrial cleaning. A wetting and detergency aid in mild cleaners. Build it into a surfactant blend to dial in foam, mildness and viscosity. “Mild” here is a surfactant-class descriptor, not a skin-health claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is caprylyl/myristyl glucoside used for?
Caprylyl/Myristyl Glucoside (CAS 110676-19-2) is a mild nonionic APG surfactant used as a co-surfactant and foam stabilizer in shampoos, body washes and cleansers, a primary surfactant in sulfate-free systems, and an emulsifier/solubilizer for oils and fragrance.
Is caprylyl/myristyl glucoside a sulfate?
No — it is a sugar-derived nonionic alkyl polyglucoside, not a sulfate, which is why it is used in sulfate-free and APG-based formulations as a mild cleansing surfactant.
Why combine caprylyl (C8) and myristyl (C14)?
The shorter C8 chain provides wetting and detergency and the longer C14 chain builds and stabilizes foam, so the blend cleans and foams better than either alone.
What is the CAS of caprylyl/myristyl glucoside?
It is CAS 110676-19-2. As an alkyl polyglucoside it is a defined-average material supplied at a stated active content; the CoA documents each lot.
How is bulk caprylyl/myristyl glucoside supplied and quoted?
RawSource supplies it as an aqueous solution in bulk with CoA and SDS per lot. Pricing is quote-based on active level and volume; submit an RFQ with your target quantity.
