Plant-Derived O/W Emulsifier, D-Phase Former, Foam & Cleansing Booster

NIKKOL Decaglyn 1-L functions as a highly versatile nonionic surfactant that excels as a premium foam and sebum cleansing booster.

By strengthening the surfactant film architecture, it significantly enhances foaming profiles to facilitate the creation of exceptionally fine, dense, and rich foam.

Beyond its foaming capabilities, NIKKOL Decaglyn 1-L possesses excellent compatibility with both oil and water. This unique balance allows it to efficiently target, lift, and rinse away stubborn impurities , making it highly effective for clearing artificial sebum dirt as well as deeply clogged sebum from scalp pores.

It is the ideal choice for formulators seeking to elevate the cleansing efficacy and sensory experience of mild personal care products.

• INCI Name: Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

• HLB: 15.5

• Primary Functions: O/W emulsifier, Solubilizer, D-phase emulsifier, Cleansing agent, Foam booster

In the techinical documents, we have 4 recommended formulas using NIKKOL Decaglyn 1-L and an evidence data on cleansing scalp sebum by NIKKOL Decaglyn 1-L.

NIKKOL Decaglyn 1-M excels in advanced D-phase emulsification.

The D-phase (Detergent phase or Surfactant phase) is an infinite aggregate called a bi-continuous state.

Emulsification process in which surfactant phase (D-phase) is formed by nonionic surfactants and an aqueous solution of polyols, and the oil phase is retained in D-phase and forms an O/D gel emulsion. Finally, O/D gel is diluted with water to form an O/W emulsion. 

D-Phase emulsification can create higher viscous emulsion with lower mechanical force than mechanical emulsification.

D-Phase technique is used in cleansing gel and cream formulations as its quick emulsification property.

• INCI Name: Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate

• HLB: 14.0

• Primary Functions: O/W emulsifier, Solubilizer, D-phase emulsifier, Dispersant

In the techinical documents, we have 4 recommended formulas using D-phase emulsification technique.

NIKKOL Decaglyn 3-SV is a natural gelling agent that excels at building a robust gel network with specific emollient oils and polyols.

At a 1:9 ratio, it successfully jellifies glycerin, squalane, and cetyl ethylhexanoate (CIO). When paired with botanical waxes, it creates stable structures that seamlessly transform into a melting oil gel upon skin contact.

It acts as an effective thickener, making it ideal for engineering unique texture-transforming cleansing balms and luxurious, melting balm-like creams.

• INCI Name: Polyglyceryl-10 Tristearate

• HLB: 7.5

• Primary Functions: Gelling agent , Viscosity modifier

In the techinical documents, we have 5 recommended formulas for the role of natural oil and glycerin gelling agent played by NIKKOL Decaglyn 3-SV.
