Homemade Haven Coco Glucoside

Homemade Haven Coco Glucoside – 250 mL

What it is

Coco Glucoside is a gentle, plant-derived liquid cleanser used by DIYers to create mild, low-tox cleaning and personal-care products. Made from coconut and fruit sugars, it’s a non-ionic surfactant, meaning it cleans effectively without stripping or harshness.

For DIYers, coco glucoside is popular because it’s easy to work with, produces a soft, stable lather, and suits both household cleaners and skin-contact recipes. It blends well with water, essential oils, and other surfactants, making it a reliable everyday ingredient once you move beyond very basic recipes.

*What it does

• Gently lifts dirt, oils, and residue
• Creates a light to moderate foam
• Helps disperse oils in water-based recipes
• Suitable for frequent-use and skin-contact products
• Can be used alone or blended with other surfactants
