"C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside": what is it?
The "C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside" is a sugar emulsifier. Emulsifiers are used to mix and stabilise two immiscible liquid substances (water and oil) in order to form an emulsion (cream, milk...). The "C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside" is also used as a surfactant to ensure an even distribution of the product during its use. It can therefore be found in roll-on deodorants, body or face creams, or even body lotions.
