The original Cognis APG^®:
a class of its own

Alkyl polyglucoside (APG^®) surfactants are obtained from renewable, plant-derived raw materials such as vegetable oils and starch. Their first-rate environmental and skin compatibility profiles fit in well with consumer demands for wellness, green solutions, mildness to human skin, and safety for human health. Furthermore, they contribute to various performance benefits in personal and home care products as well as I&I applications.

The history of APG^® reaches back to the19th century. Today, Cognis is the world’s largest manufacturer of the original APG^® surfactants and over decades has accumulated the necessary know-how for production and application. APG^® turns your formulation green without any compromise in performance. And thanks to its natural origin, it has a perfect environmental footprint, too.
