Description

Rapeseed glucoside is the product resulting from the reaction of glucose-derived fatty alcohols from Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) seed oil belonging to the Brassicaceae family.

What it is used for and where
Brassica campestris is a nutritionally rich vegetable and is cultivated all over the world. The phytochemical composition shows interesting compounds for human health such as phenols and ascorbic acid.

Cosmetics
Binder agent. Ingredient that is used in cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical products as an anti-caking agent with the function of making the product in which it is incorporated silky, compact and homogenous. The binder, either natural such as mucilage, gums and starches or chemical, may be in the form of a powder or liquid.

Surfactant - Emulsifying agent. Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable and are used to soothe or soften the skin and emulsify, so they need a specific, stabilising ingredient. This ingredient forms a film, lowers the surface tension and makes two immiscible liquids miscible. A very important factor affecting the stability of the emulsion is the amount of the emulsifying agent. Emulsifiers have the property of reducing the oil/water or water/oil interfacial tension, improving the stability of the emulsion and also directly influencing the stability, sensory properties and surface tension of sunscreens by modulating the filmometric performance.
