BergaSoft AlkylPolyGlucosides (APG)
We offer AlkylPolyGlucosides with different carbon chain length distributions, resulting in a wide range of glucosides with different properties. The shorter the alkyl chain, the higher the foam volume, but the lower the foam stability and vice versa.
The longer the alkyl chain, the higher the viscosity i.e. additional thickening, the gentler on the skin, and the higher the skin conditioning effect. BergaSoft APGs are COSMOS approved and suitable for natural concepts.
