Safflower Glucoside

Product Description

Our Safflower Glucoside is high-purity cosmetic-grade material from direct factory supply, produced by condensing safflower acid with glucose under controlled conditions with batch COA traceability for hair care formulators.

This water-soluble non-ionic glucoside deposits a lightweight conditioning layer along the hair shaft, smoothing cuticles, reducing frizz, and improving manageability without heavy silicone load in rinse-off and leave-on systems.

CosIng-listed safflower glucoside meets premium hair care demand for plant-sourced conditioning alternatives, widely adopted in sulfate-free shampoos, repair serums, and salon-grade treatment lines.

Key Benefits & Applications

Safflower Glucoside delivers plant-derived conditioning actives for formulators building sulfate-free shampoos, repair treatments, and lightweight styling systems.

• Deposits glucoside conditioning layer to smooth cuticles and reduce frizz in rinse-off conditioners.
• Mild non-ionic structure supports gentle scalp cleansing in sulfate-free daily shampoos without harsh stripping.
• Water-soluble safflower-glucose conjugate boosts instant hair softness in leave-in serums and detanglers.
• Forms lightweight film for combability and shine without heavy silicone load in styling creams.
• Supports moisture retention in repair masks and damaged-hair treatment ampoules at 1–5% load.

Formulation Guidelines

Use at 0.5–5% w/w in hair care systems; compatible with anionic and amphoteric surfactants in sulfate-free shampoo bases at pH 5.0–7.0.

• Recommended use level: 0.5–3% in shampoos; 1–5% in conditioners and leave-in treatments.
• Optimal formula pH: 5.0–7.0 for stable glucoside conditioning performance.
• Add to aqueous phase; pre-dissolve in water before surfactant addition in shampoo systems.
• Compatible with panthenol, amino acids, and mild amphoteric co-surfactants.
• Avoid extreme alkaline pH above 8.0, which may destabilize glucoside structure.
• Synergy: Boost hair softness by adding Panthenol to safflower glucoside in sulfate-free repair conditioners at 1–3% w/w.
