Environmental issues are still of great concerns as our consumption for household are increasing. As we could hardly control the usage and the amount of waste produced by household products, we can reduce or replace the harmful chemicals found in these products! Until now, most of us still rely on shampoo and other cleansing agents that contained sodium laureth sulfate. Sulfate products are very effective in cleaning but is infamous for Skin Irritation and not Eco-friendly! So, how can we go green and at the same time without losing the efficacies of the products? APG and AEG surfactants replaced laureth sulfate with natural ingredients and have comparable efficacies as sulfate products! Recently, our supplier was awarded with top 100 Sub-Listed Enterprises of China Light Industry in the 7th comprehensive evaluation! We are also Eco-Certified and comply with REACH standards in production of chemical substances for our ingredients!Alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) are a class of non-ionic surfactants that are widely used in household, and industrial applications. Alkyl poly glucoside is made from natural fatty alcohols and glucose derived from renewable plants. The raw materials are usually Starch and Fat, and the end products are complex mixtures of compounds with sugars comprising hydrophilic end and alkyl groups with hydrophobic end.APGs uses natural ingredients (Starch, coconut oil/palm, etc) which are more eco-friendly. Additionally, it is highly soluble in concentrated alkaline solution and in other electrolyte to make cleaning more effective. Also, APGs has good compatibility with various anionic and non-ionic surfactants which produces rich and stable foam. This enhances the efficacy of formulation and improve mildness. Most importantly, APGs is non-toxic and biodegradable with strong detergency properties! APGs is usually used in body wash, shampoo, facial wash, hand sanitizer, dish washing and cleaner for fruits and vegetables.

AEG is the improved version of APG. It contains additional polyoxyethylene chain between the alkyl chain and polyglycosides group.AEG has high tolerability to hard water (mineral water), solution in water at even at low temperature and high compatibility with other substances. Additionally, AEG surfactant is biodegradable and able to remove oily dirt with improved viscosity. Non-dioxane detected when tested. AEG is more suitable for liquid laundry detergent, dish washing, household cleaner, hard surface cleaning and as scouring agent in textile industry.
