Choosing between a squalane cleanser and a glucoside foaming cleanser depends on your skin type, cleansing needs, and sensitivity level. Both are gentle, non-stripping cleansing options, but they serve different purposes in a skincare routine.
At Yeful, we develop custom OEM/odm private-label cleansers, formulating both squalane-based and glucoside-based cleansers to cater to different skin concerns while ensuring effective, nourishing, and science-backed skincare solutions.

What is a Squalane Cleanser?
A squalane cleanser is an oil-based or balm-like cleanser that works as a gentle first step in a double-cleansing routine. It is designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil without disrupting the skin barrier.
✔ Best for Dry, Sensitive, and Dehydrated Skin
✔ Melts Away Makeup, SPF, and Impurities
✔ Maintains the Skin Barrier and Leaves Skin Hydrated
✔ Non-Foaming & Lightweight Oil-to-Milk Texture
Best Ingredients to Pair with Squalane:
- Hyaluronic Acid – Locks in hydration.
- Ceramides & Panthenol (Vitamin B5) – Strengthen the skin barrier.
- Green Tea & Chamomile Extracts – Soothe inflammation and redness.
What is a Glucoside Foaming Cleanser?
A glucoside foaming cleanser is a gentle, sulfate-free water-based cleanser that uses plant-derived glucoside surfactants to create a soft, mild foam. It removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities while being non-stripping and pH-balanced.
✔ Best for Oily, Combination, and Acne-Prone Skin
✔ Gently Lifts Dirt, Sweat, and Impurities
✔ Light Foaming Action Without Harsh Sulfates
✔ Balances Oil Production While Hydrating the Skin
Best Ingredients to Pair with a Glucoside Cleanser:
- Niacinamide – Regulates sebum and minimizes pores.
- Aloe Vera & Centella Asiatica – Calms redness and irritation.
- Salicylic Acid (BHA) or Zinc PCA – Helps with acne-prone skin.
