Oramix™ GB 10 (Sugar Detergent)

A clear to colourless or light yellow liquid that is a blend of two non-ionic and amphoteric, vegetal based foaming surfactants.

 

It is sulfate-free and is compatible with cationic materials. It makes abundant foam and is packaged preservative-free. It has a pH of 4 to 6.

 

Decyl glucoside is non-ionic and creates a very rich lather. It is derived from sugar cane or sugar beet and is very mild and non irritating to the skin. It works very well as a primary surfactant.

Cocamidopropyl betaine is amphoteric and creates a very fast, flash foam that makes a lot of bubbles. It is naturally derived from coconut and is gentle enough to be used in facial cleansing products and baby products. It is not really ideal to use it on its own which is why it is blended here with decyl glucoside. Blending these two together creates a very smooth foam.

 

The individual materials that make up Oramix™ GB 10 are listed on the Cosmetic Ingredient Database (Cosing).

 

We used to sell this as Sugar Detergent but now are the official distributor for SEPPIC so have changed to the trademark name.

Use in formulations at 1% to 35% as a primary or secondary surfactant alongside Alpha Detergent. It can also be used to solubilise essential oils into water.

 

Can be used in to make cleansing facial washes, body washes and hand washes. It is very mild to the skin and can buffer the effect of other, more harsh surfactants.

Very effective at making a rich, gentle foam that cleanses effectively without stripping the scalp. It is sulfate-free and combines well with cationic agents. Use in shampoos for all hair types.
