Alkyl glucoside surfactant ternary system: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent foaming and skin irritation in cleansing formulations drive up consumer dissatisfaction and reformulation costs. This specific ratio of anionic, amphoteric, and non-ionic surfactants stabilizes the micellar structure to ensure mildness and performance consistency.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Alkyl glucoside surfactant ternary system?

Insufficient antimicrobial active deposition

(18)evidences

Standard anionic surfactant systems cause excessive dryness and epidermal barrier disruption. Reducing irritation potential while maintaining cleansing efficacy improves product safety and consumer tolerance.

Microbial degradation at low ph

(2)evidences

Standard alkyl glucoside formulations often suffer from phase separation or chemical degradation in low pH environments. Maintaining structural integrity under acidic conditions allows for compatibility with skin-neutral or therapeutic formulations.
