Plantacare

Plantacare is a formulation of Alkyl Polyglucoside – APG. It is a surfactant with unique qualities and a non-ionic state. Plantacare is a naturally sourced component that blends well with the environment and natural body use, such as skin.

Source of Plantacare

The primary sources of this ingredient are coconut, the glucose in corn and palm kernel fats. Studies indicate that APG is readily biodegradable and requires a little processing to increase its life length. Silver Fern Chemical Inc. processes APG to create NaturalAPG SFC 0810. The rawness of its source makes it safe for people with sensitive skin due to the mild chemical reactivity.
